St. Paul's Food Pantry provides food to families and individuals in our community that are in need and have no other means to purchase food.  The Food Pantry opened its doors at 365 Peyton Rd (Outreach House) on November 19, 2008.  With the help of the St. Paul's congregation and other community sponsors, we have provided food for over 1,765 families since we opened!  St. Paul's Church is a Food Bank Partner Agency, which allows us to purchase food from the Atlanta Community Food Bank for 16¢ a pound. We purchase approximately 3000 pounds of food each month and provide food for approximately 130-150 families each week. We also give out free clothing on Wednesdays when families come for food!

*Hours of Operation:* Every Wednesday & Saturday from 10am-2pm

*Volunteer Opportunities:*  2 hours per month on *every* Wednesday or *every 4th Saturday* at 365 Peyton Rd (Outreach House).  Each shift is from 10-12pm or 12-2pm.  You will be helping to improve lives by distributing food to the St. Paul's Community and restocking the shelves with new donations.

*How to donate:*  We continue to ask parishioners to help stamp out hunger in our neighborhood by donating goods, non-perishable foods, and monetary donations.  Please place all of your non-perishable food items in the box, marked "Food Pantry".  The box is located just outside of the sanctuary.
