Fostering a Welcoming Environment That Extends Beyond the Kitchen
To combat food insecurity further by providing supplemental nutritious food items in a Christian atmosphere, Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church serves residents in St Johns from the 32092 and 32095 zip codes. Established in 2013, the food pantry has since distributed about 50,000 pounds of food annually, which includes bread, meat, beans, and more.
The food pantry has regular hours, operating on the third Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and on preceding Tuesdays from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. During these hours, clients are greeted warmly and assisted in selecting food items that suit their needs.
