​

​​​​​​How to Use the Food Pantry
Food pantry hours are the 2nd Wednesday of the month, 9AM-12 PM, and 5-7 PM.  No need to call ahead, just come during our open hours. 

In addition to receiving groceries, household products and toiletries are included as available. The food pantry has developed some community partners that provide bread, bagels, pastries and fresh fruits/vegetables in season.  Our guests must be Delaware County residents and can come once per month.  Anyone who has a child under 18 years old living with them who is celebrating a birthday is given the opportunity to create a birthday bag which consists of a cake mix, icing, candles, and a gift for the birthday that will be celebrated during the month.

How to Help
Members of St. James, along with community partners, donate food to the food pantry. On average, we give out 60 bags of food, serving approximately 35 families each month. 

St. James is always seeking individuals and community partners to help support this vital outreach. If you would like to volunteer during the hours the pantry is open, please contact the church office at 610-446-3036.

"13.7% of those in Delaware County are food insecure."
In other words, they have trouble accessing food and meeting the healthy diet standards of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”  (Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger 2013 report on hunger)

We are always glad to give tours of our pantry and offer education for those adults, teens, children and families who would like to learn about hunger, who is going hungry and why.  Please call the church office, if interested 610-446-3036.
