Service and Justice Ministries

This month, we are going to share more about our Service and Justice Ministries. 
These ministries help us in our community as we serve the poor, the vulnerable, and those who are in need.

“The first ministry we’d like to highlight is our Parish Food Pantry.  We serve approximately 15 families at our bi-monthly pantry.  The pantry distributes items such as fresh fruits, vegetables, breads, desserts, canned goods, meats, and more. While we mainly provide food, we want to make sure we can help families as much as possible and do have clothing and other items we distribute to them.

We work with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, local organizations, community members and businesses to stock and fund the pantry.

If you’d like to make a monetary or goods donation, please contact our Engagement Director, Megan at mcorder@maryqueenofpeacepgh.org or call our office at 412-381-0212.  Right now, we do not need volunteers to staff the pantry, but as we have opportunities to volunteer with the pantry, we will share those in the bulletin!

Our next Parish Food Bank will be held on Wednesday, March 9.  The pantry is open the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 11:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m.  We also have emergency food available.  If you know someone who may be interested in signing up for donations through the pantry, please let us know.  All are welcome.

Next week we will share information about the Mt. Washington Food Bank, which is temporarily housed in the garage at 403 Grandview Avenue
