“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.” ― Teresa of Avila

Our service opportunities are about becoming the hands and feet of Christ as we reach out to help others. 

The St. Joseph Food Pantry began in late 2006 providing food for needy families in Oktibbeha County. Qualifying families can obtain bags of nonperishable goods once a month. Typically, we serve over 180 families (patrons) per month. Counting the people in these families, we help feed over 4,000 people in 2018. Some patrons are homebound and our volunteers spend their own time and money delivering food to approximately 40 families each month. In addition to food, patrons and their children have access during our food distribution to new and used books and magazines provided by donors.

St. Joseph Food Pantry welcomes all volunteers on the Second Friday and Saturday of each month. Bagging is from 10 am - 12 pm on the second Friday of each month and distribution is the next morning, from 9 am -11 am on the second Saturday of each month. We would love to see you there!

Want to make the world a better place? Come join us as we cut and crochet plastic bags into sleeping mats and pillows for the homeless. We even deliver them to the homeless ourselves during our Mini-Mission Trips to Jackson (see description above)!
