Since the church has limited hours, the number of donations of canned potatoes and baked beans has not been great. However, in conversations with the food pantry, that is true all over DeSoto. Donations are hard to get to the pantry right now since they are practicing social distancing. In addition to that, many people are just purchasing items that they need and not anything extra. This means that the food pantry is having to purchase food for distribution, which is always difficult for the small organization.

During this time, monetary donations and donations of goods are both needed. You can send these through St. Andrew’s, or you can contact the food pantry to coordinate dropping off items: 636-586-7300.
