Food & Clothing Shelf Mission: To feed, clothe, and nurture our neighbors in need.
As part of the ELCA World Hunger effort, St. Philip’s expanded the existing food pantry in 2017 into what is now the St. Philip’s Food & Clothing Shelf. Free emergency food, clothing, hygiene items, and crisis information are provided in a dignified, faith based, safe, friendly, and healthy environment where all are welcome.
We are now in our newly expanded space in Rooms 16 and 17, with entrance through Door 3.
Hours of operation:
- Tuesdays: 10:00 – 11:30 am
- Wednesdays: 5:00 – 6:30 pm
- Fridays: 10:00 – 11:30 am
**The Food and Clothing Shelf will be closed Tuesday, December 26, 2023**
Visitors can receive two bags of food and one bag of clothing per family/household every 30 days. Please bring a valid ID. (You won’t be turned away if you don’t have one.)
