About St. James Food Alliance:
The Parish of St. James, led by Father Matt Oprendek, began the food pantry in October 2017 when a woman came in asking for help feeding her family. The food pantry then opened its doors and has continued on the second Saturday of every month. The pantry provides fresh vegetables and fruits along with non-perishable groceries to about 375-400 families a month. When the pandemic forced the food pantry to close, Episcopal Charities began distributing bags of groceries outdoors at St James in order to continue to help with the food insecurity of the neighborhood.
Any questions about the St. James collection can be directed to the parish administrator at christchurch@ccbny.org.
