The Table - St. George’s food pantry

We all come to this place hungry- hungry for something; hungry for knowledge, hungry to know God, hungry to know God’s presence in community with each other.  Few of us come hungry for food. 

We hope that everyone who walks through our doors will know God’s presence and will walk away fed- with food, literal and figurative.  On January 24^th we began  The Table- St. George’s market-style food pantry.   Operating like a market, tables are spread out all over Sydnor Hall with food stuffs of all kinds.   Our guests are welcomed, signed in and invited to take what they need and what they like.  We particularly want to offer fresh produce so the wonderful supply includes potatoes, apples, oranges and squash some days and broccoli, pears and onions the next.   All the food comes from donations from parishoners or the Food Bank.  A wonderful group of St. Georgians as well as some of our regular patrons orders, unloads, arranges and welcomes people to this food pantry in the hope that at this Table, as at our altar table, all may come and find sustenance.
