Outreach - Open Hands Pantry
|
Open Hands Pantry
Open Hands Pantry is an emergency food pantry created to serve Southeast
Oakland County residents.
This is an outreach ministry of St. John's Episcopal Church, Royal Oak, and is
staffed by volunteers and exists solely through the generosity of community
support.
Outreach to those in need is one of our missions at St. David's, and being a
neighbor church, we support Open Hands Pantry.
Please remember to keep the basket in the Narthex filled with boxed or canned
goods. The items in the basket are delivered to St. John’s on a regular basis by
members of our Hammer and Nail group.
Donations of cash are always welcomed. Checks may be written to
St. David’s and designated for the “Open Hands Food Pantry.”
