FOOD DONATIONS:
The food pantry donation box is now located outside of the doors of the covered walkway by the chapel.
CLICK HERE for list of needed items.
(Monetary donations can be made via online giving.)
 

 One of the greatest gifts we are able to provide to families in need is the gift of a nutritious meal. The St. Michael's Food Pantry is stocked by the generous contributions of St. Michael the Archangel's parishioners, the Atlanta Community Food Bank and our retail partners, Publix and BJ's.  St. Michael's Food Pantry provides frozen meats, fresh produce, dairy products, many kinds of non-pershable foods and bakery items.  Food is distributed to those in need by volunteers.  Often a family may have spent the last of their monthy income to pay a utility bill and with a week before the next paycheck, find that they are out of food.

St. Michael's Food Pantry provides about a week's worth of groceries so that children have a nourishing breakfast to start their day, lunches to take to school and enough food to provide for the family meal at the end of the day.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Volunteering at the food pantry is ideal for those who may have other responsibilies that may limit the amount of time they are able to offer.

WHEN IS THE FOOD PANTRY OPEN TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY?
St. Michael's Food Pantry serves all of Cherokee County and is open to serve Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 11:45 am.  An appointment is not necessary, we serve on a first come, first served basis.
