Our Catholic Care Brown Bag Project, works to alleviate hunger among our parish Kupuna, Ohana and Keiki who struggle with food insecurity (not knowing where your next meal is coming from).
Our parish Catholic Care Project provides supplemental food for our Brown Bag recipients once a month. Food items are non-perishable staples and are often prohibitively expensive for low income individuals and families who are struggling to make ends meet.
Each month our CCP Brown Bag program distributes over 1,200 pounds of food to our friends in their time of crisis. All of this food is provided by the generosity of our parishioners, through our monthly food collection.
As good stewards of the blessings we have received, our Catholic Care Project seeks to avoid duplication of resources and efforts, by seeking and serving the most vulnerable among us, who have limited or no access to other food resources. The food donations we receive are distributed within 7 days of our monthly food collection to ensure those who need food (especially during the last week of each month, when food stamps typically run out) will receive a supplemental brown bag to keep food on their table.
If you or someone you know would benefit from receiving a supplemental food bag, please call our Parish Catholic Care helpline
