Each month CSFP provides Kids Club bags to over 600 families with children. During 2024, each month St. John’s will collect a specific non-perishable kid-friendly item that is not freely provided by the Greater Boston Food Bank. September is Snack Month! Please donate snacks (Goldfish, Ritz-style crackers, fruit/trail mix, raisins) for the Kids Club Bags at Centre Street Food Pantry. You can place the food in the box in DiMauro Hall. Thank you!
