The mandate of this ministry is to provide “our neighbours” who are in financial need with monthly assistance, in the form of food vouchers. To be eligible, clients must live within the boundaries of St. Joseph parish or be parishioners.
The funding for this ministry is provided by parishioners through a special collection the first weekend of each month. Clients receive the vouchers once a month on the second Wednesday of the month. Clients must provide ID to prove that they live within the parish boundaries. When funds permit, additional gifts or extra gift cards are distributed.
The Neighbours in Need committee also organizes and executes the Parish Christmas Food Hamper Program. We are grateful to all parishioners who so generously support this outreach program. If interested in becoming involved in the work of this committee, please call the Parish Office.
