Food Pantry Collection is the first weekend of every month. We normally ask parishioners to bring non-perishable, shelf-stable food items.
This October 3 & 4, because of the OLLL Bake Sale, CEW for the Deaf, and the St. Vincent de Paul second collection the week before, we ask everyone to make online donations at one of our wonderful partners:
- DMARC (Des Moines Area Religious Council) Food Pantry Network
- The Ankeny Service Center
- IMPACT Ankeny Food Pantry
