The Outreach Committee is pleased to announce that Weymouth Food Pantry “Backpack Program” will once again be the beneficiary of St. John’s March food drive from March 1-31, 2025. The Backpack program aims to provide essential nutritional support to children in need. Currently, almost 400 children benefit from this program. Each weekend, these children receive a backpack filled with food that sustains and nourishes them until they return to school on Monday. For some of these children, the food provided through this program is the only food they receive throughout the entire weekend.
How You Can Help
Our food drive relies heavily on the generosity and support of the community. There are several ways you can contribute:
· Drop off requested food items in the Narthex or bin outside the side door.
· Donate directly to WFP using their Amazon account
· Monetary contributions are also welcome. Checks can be made out to Weymouth Food Pantry and dropped off at St. John’s office.
