For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in; naked, and you clothed me

In December 2004, St. Gelasius Food Pantry in the Woodlawn area of Chicago merged with the Food Pantry at St. Columbanus to form the St. Columbanus and St. Gelasius Food Pantry. What started as a ministry to 50 households per week has expanded to a comprehensive program providing food, clothes, and social service St. Columbanus referrals weekly to more than 500 at–risk families who live in the Park Manor neighborhood on the south side of Chicago.
Families receive two bags of food: one full of dry staples and one full of fresh fruits and vegetables. Since its inception, the pantry has served more than 29,760 families. The Greater Chicago Food Depository along with several local Catholic parishes provide the nearly 375 cases of dry goods and more than 4,000 pounds of produce needed weekly to feed the poor and working poor of our parish. In addition, the Pantry distributes fresh produce from the Greater Chicago Food Depository Produce Mobile and fresh meat, pastries, and fresh produce from the Greater Chicago Food Depository Rescue Program.
