I would like to introduce myself. My name is David Grindstaff. I am the new President of St. Maria Goretti’s St. Vincent DePaul pantry. I have been a member of the pantry for 7 years and I am a parish member of St. Maria Goretti.

Through prayer, we are working hard to serve the needs of our community. Your generosity in the past has kept us serving 40-60 families a week. We are committed to continuing supporting our community. I am happy to announce Meijers has started the Simply Give program for our pantry.
