St. Joseph's Phillip the Van is on the road, daily picking up perishable and non-perishable food items from Wegmans and Target, then delivering them to Foodlink member agencies in the area and downtown. These cupboards and shelters include Bethany House, St. Andrew's, Sr. Regis, Rochester Hope, and others. Penfield Hope also benefits from these retail donations and works in collaboration with the van team and Foodlink.
Our deepest gratitude to the crew who are deeply committed to the ministry: Terry Bedford, Tom Glisson, John Fahey, Betty Wilson, Leonard Dankey, Ed Hoyser, Jim DeHollander, Ralph Fernaays, Bob Swantz, Ken Welgoss, Mitch Milton. Dan Suter, Tom Horton and Fr. Joe McCaffrey.
St. Joseph's Church collects non-perishable food items on the first weekend of each month for delivery to our partners and for Penfield Hope. Check the bulletin and screens at Mass for what's being collected next!
