The Charleroi Food Pantry is located at the Holy Ghost Byzantine Church in Charleroi, PA, and serves an average of 140 families each month.  Food is distributed twice a week and each family is able to receive their supply once a month.  The Pantry is always in need of dry goods.  The next time you plan your meals, plan extra and bring your packaged  goods to church.  Gloria Linderman is our volunteer who takes the food to the pantry each month and sometimes weeks if needed. The Pantry receives food from the Federal and State Governments as well as from churches and individuals.  

As a part of our offering each week, we give to Outreach International's Haiti School Program. For children to thrive in global school programs, it takes more than a good education. It takes good nutrition as well. In Outreach International-supported schools, children have a higher attendance rate, higher parental support, and greater longevity in attendance, often reaching sixth grade and beyond. Providing a healthy lunch program helps children thrive physically and academically: concentration/grades improve, weight improves. Parents are thankful for the food program, knowing it helps their families feed all their children, and helps their young students do better in school. 

 

Our annual Breakfast With The Easter Bunny outreach is scheduled for Saturday, April 7th 10:30 AM.  Children can play games, hear the Easter story and hunt for candy filled eggs.  And of course everyone can eat a delicious breakfast and get  their picture taken with the Easter Bunny!  Hope to see you there!
