Benedict's Food Pantry

"Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing. Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could." Saint Gregory Nazianzen

The Saint Benedict Parish community lives out the Gospel instruction to feed the hungry and clothe the poor (Luke 3:11) through the works of Benedict's Pantry.  Housed in the Parish Hall on Wilkens Avenue, Benedict's Pantry collects food and warm clothing, sorts and bags the items, and on the fourth Saturday of each month, shares them with needy individuals and families who reside within the parish boundaries. On an average month, the Pantry serves 96 families, totaling 295 persons. Benedict's Pantry also organizes and directs the parish's annual Christmas outreach to needy families in the area. This past December 2022, the Pantry provided gifts, books, and food items to 200 families. The Pantry could not accomplish these works of charity in the Lord's name without the generosity of the Saint Benedict Parish community, local businesses, and sister parishes in the Baltimore area. Benedict's Pantry is managed and staffed by a faithful group of volunteers, under the leadership of Fr. Paschal. All parishioners are invited to join the Pantry's efforts through monetary donations, volunteering time, and offering up prayers.

Please drop all donations at the Parish office. We accept clothing, blankets, and household items.

We are currently in need of: peanut butter, jelly, cereal, black beans (dry), pasta, tea, coffee (no k-cups), soup, oil, sugar, white rice, canned ravioli, and reusable (canvas like) bags for groceries.

Emergency food is available Monday-Friday 9am-4pm, Saturday 9am-4pm. Please contact the Parish office.
