Grace church has been working with the St. Helena Food Pantry for several years. This is a great ministry to give aid and relief to those in our own community and always greatly appreciated. With the current economic times their needs are up by at least 40%. People who have never asked for assistance are now showing up as their dollars aren’t lasting until they receive their next check. We hold a food drive the end of May to collect non-perishable foods for the food pantry and our plate donations are also given to them throughout the year.

You can reach the St. Helena Food Pantry at 707-963-5183 if you have donations to drop off or would like to donate your time; there is an answering machine so you can leave a message. They are staffed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM and their mailing address is P O Box 108, St. Helena, CA 94574.
