Our Food Outreach is an ongoing and active ministry in our parish.
At multiple times each year, we partner with the Sharing Center to distribute fresh produce and frozen food items on our campus to over 350 families from our surrounding community.
Each week our food pantry assembles 80 backpack/bags with food items to be distributed to families in need at three local Elementary Schools. Sabal Point, Wekiva and Forest City. Your generosity to our Food Drives helps to maintain our pantry to help fill all of these needs.
If you would like to help with this ministry, please contact Peggy Dobrowolski at pdobrowolski@annunciationorlando.org
