Our Food Pantry works with the Baton Rouge Food Bank and the donations of our generous parishioners to serve the needy in our community. On the 1st Tuesday of each month, volunteers sort the food and certified clients come to our gym to pick it up. To become a certified client, one must live within East Baton Rouge Parish, not exceed a determined household income, and come on any first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 am with a photo id and either a water bill, electric bill, or current rental agreement showing their East Baton Rouge Parish address.
St. Agnes also provides food to registered parishioners who are in need. Please contact the parish office (225) 383-4127 for assistance. We are grateful to be able to provide food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas to registered parishioners who are homebound or in want.
If you would like to volunteer for this ministry, please contact the parish office. Donations of nonperishable food are welcome year-round in the wooden chest in the church’s vestibule. Monetary donations can be made at the parish office.
