Donations. The pantry is supported through donations from the church and community. Many area churches, organizations, companies, neighborhoods, grocery stores, and individuals support the pantry through food and/or monetary donations. We are blessed and thankful for the many who support our pantry, giving so generously to the many who are food insecure in the Southshore area.
All food items that are donated may not be expired or opened. Food donations may be brought to the donation barrels in the narthex at St. Anne Church or brought to the Parish Office. Those with large size donations should contact the Parish Office at 813-645-1714 to make arrangements for delivery. Monetary donations can be sent to St. Anne Church Food Pantry, 106 11th Avenue Northeast, Ruskin, Florida, 33570.
Volunteers. The St. Anne Food Pantry is staffed by volunteers from the parish and community. If you would like to volunteer you may report to the Food Pantry on a Saturday morning by 7:30 AM. You will be required to complete an online form for registration as a volunteer. You can complete it now at volunteer or complete it when you are there. Please be aware that most food pantry volunteers stand for approximately four hours on Saturdays (one-half hour for set-up, three hours for distribution, and one-half hour for cleanup). There are, however, a few volunteer positions available where volunteers pick up items from area grocery stores at specified dates/times and deliver them to the food pantry.
