Contactless Food Drive

San Antonio Catholic Church Saint Vincent DePaul's Food Pantry is having a "Contactless Food Drive" from 2-4 p.m. July 21. The Women's Guild and KofC Council #12456 are sponsoring this drive. The pantry is running very low on the basic food items and are asking for non-perishable food items to help feed the needy families here in our area. Drive to the left side of the church, stay in your car and a masked and gloved volunteer will unload the items from your car. Monetary gifts will also graciously be accepted. The pantry is located at 24445 Rampart Blvd., Port Charlotte.

Check out the San Antonio-Port Charlotte, FL Knights of Columbus website!
