Family Today

What would the Holy Family look like if born in our time into poverty today? Would they have turned up looking for food? The picture tells its own story, waiting for food at the food pantry week before Christmas.

Firefighters Lending a Hand

A group of Firefighters from Station 8 came on last Thursday to help out at the Food Pantry. It’s their Christmas get together, and they choose to begin their day helping others. Thank you to Gary Boucher, Shawn Sivil, Chris Mount, District Chief Cooper, and Dean Vincent. God Bless you for your kindness!

Parishioners Support Pantry

For the past month, students, staff, and instructors from Gonsalves Tae Kwon Do in Acushnet have collected food items to donate to St Anthony Food Pantry. They collected over 1,200 food items this year. This is their 5th year holding a Christmas Food Drive for the St. Anthony Food Pantry. In the photo are Aimee Racine, Kyle Racine, Ed Ross, Ed Ross III, Brian Mailloux, and Kevin Zeppenfeld. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to those less fortunate.

Normandin Middle School Supports Pantry

Last Thursday morning the pantry picked up over 60 cartons of food that the students at Normandin Middle School had collected for us. The food was distributed to visitors to our pantry that very afternoon! The hard work and generosity of the students and the staff at Normandin is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Blanket Drive

Please join St. Anthony of Padua Food Pantry in our efforts to keep our fellow neighbors warm this winter. Our goal is to raise 1008 fleece blankets and distribute them to the needy in our community this holiday season. The blankets are charity discounted 50% off from our friends at NorthEast Fleece and are only $5.00 each. With as little as $20.00 your generous donation will keep four neighbors warm this cold winter season. Please help us spread the word about this local blanket drive, through your support we can raise awareness about homelessness in America. Together we can make a difference. Please visit http://fleeceforpeace.causevox.com/st-anthony-of-padua-food-pantry to make your donation.
