The emergency food pantry at the South Worcester Neighborhood Center receives the non-perishable food items that are contributed to the Saint Matthew’s weekly Food Offering.  Cereals and canned soup are most needed, as well as personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies and other nonperishable/nutritious foods. 

We have been learning that the need for emergency food is increasing in our neighborhood and the area served by our Neighborhood Center: more individuals and families are applying, and qualifying, for assistance, and our gifts matter! 
Please consider making a weekly food donation to the Food Offering.  If that will create a strain on your own household’s food budget, please consider offering something once or twice a month.  Watch for the sales at your grocery store: a can of soup, a box of pasta, a carton of cereal can help one of our neighborhood families a lot!
