Sst. James' Episcopal Church

The Food Locker currently distributes approximately 75 bags of food to those in need every Friday, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.  Our number is growing, due to the bad economic times.

The bags include canned and dry food, fresh fruit and bread. Financial support and food items are contributed by parishioners, but food donations are also received from local schools, Calvary Presbyterian and United Methodist Churches, and other community organizations and individuals.   Day-old bread items are donated by Vons and Pavilions supermarkets.

Each Christmas season the Food Locker organizes a holiday "market."  We set out tables in the parish hall with an array of unwrapped gifts from which people who come for food can choose presents for their families.

Volunteers on a weekly or occasional basis are always welcome,  to help assemble bags on Friday mornings or distribute them later in the afternoon. For information, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
