Open Doors Pantry Drive

St. Mark’s is partnering with Open Doors of Norwalk to help close the summer meal gap for local families. Summer is one of the hardest stretches for food-insecure households, as school meal programs pause and pantry shelves run low when need is highest.

Throughout the month, please drop off non-perishable food donations in the bins located in the narthex and outside Morrill Hall.

Spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, rice (2lb bags), mac & cheese, canned vegetables, vegetable oil, sugar (2 or 4 lb bags), cereal, oatmeal, coffee & tea, spices, fresh fruit and vegetables, salad dressings, condiments, jelly (grape or strawberry), dried beans (red or black), canned beans (red or black), fruit cups, canned fruit, canned tuna and chicken, all-purpose flour, pancake mix and syrup, cream of wheat, juice or juice boxes, dry or shelf-stable milk, reusable grocery bags. Low-sodium and sugar-free options are appreciated. Regular sizes better as many homes have limited storage and easier to carry if taking public transportation.

If you’d like to volunteer to drive our collected items over to Open Doors, please be in touch: 203-966-4515 or bralston@stmarksnewcanaan.org.
