On the third Thursday of each month, up to 150 people come to St. Anne’s for our monthly food pantry distribution. 

In 2024, the Food Pantry provided food to an average of 87 households each month. These diverse households have 228 individuals, including 81 children, 74 adults (ages 18-59) and 74 seniors (age 60+). For the year, 200 households were new to St. Anne’s Food Pantry, an average of 17 new households served per month. Through organizational partnerships and the generosity of our congregation and community, over 82,000 pounds of food and other essentials were distributed last year.  And these numbers are rising! 

Our monthly distribution includes grocery bags filled with non-perishable pantry essentials, fresh produce, frozen meat, as well as our diaper ministry.  As a hybrid approach, we incorporate at least a third of what we provide under a CHOICE model, meaning individuals and families can choose what they prefer from tables filled with items including shelf-stable milk, canned goods, cooking oil, soy sauce, baking essentials, personal hygiene, and more.  

Need food now?  Grocery bags of pantry essentials are available from St. Anne's during usual business hours (weekdays between 9 am and 3 pm) by calling the church office at 703-437-6530.
