Did you know that Food Stamps will not purchase personal hygiene products?Many, many thanks to the multitude of loyal volunteers who make the Food Pantry happen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday all year around: drivers who pick up food and hygiene items and haul them into the pantry building; stockers who stock shelves, freezers and refrigerators; escorts who assist our clients choose their items; greeters who assist clients when they come in the door; and check-in and in-take assistants who keep order and count; and coordinators who keep things running smoothly. We simply couldn’t do it without you!
Lord Jesus who multiplied the loaves and fishes and called us to feed the hungry, be with us today as we serve those you send to us. Open our hearts to see the gift of you in each person who comes to the pantry. Open our ears to hear their joys and struggles. Open our mouths to speak words of caring and respect. Give strength to our arms when we are tired, patience to our spirits when lines are long and things are confusing, and joy in our hearts for the privilege of serving you. Today and every day may we glorify you with our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Cincinnati, OH 45225Did you know in order to partake in the Food Assistance Program (SNAP), participants must either be employed or provide community service hours?There are some exemptions but many think folks get something for nothing when, in fact, they must volunteer the number of hours they would receive in food assistance divided by minimum wage. For example, to receive $157, a person must volunteer 20 hours a month to get food for themselves and their family (20 hours x $7.85).
St. Leo provides an outlet for the recipients to perform their service hours. Of course, it depends what services they’re able to provide and what tasks we have. Some have helped with our Newsletter mailings, washed down kitchen cabinets and pantry stairs, swept and mopped Centennial Hall, and moved items back and forth. We are grateful for these small opportunities provided for us all to help each other!Feed the Hungry throughout the U.S. and the World
