The Best Place To Find God Is In A Garden

“The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.”
George Bernard Shaw

In Spring and early Summer, a lot of us tend to our gardens. Some gardens grow vegetables and provide fresh food to nourish our bodies. Others are flowering gardens which provide beauty and nourish our souls.  For many of our clients the Market Street Pantry is their “garden” and for some it is their only garden. We provide them with needed food and try to lift their spirits.  

The pantry trip goal is for each family member to get enough food to provide them three meals a day for four days. They can come once a month plus three additional emergency visits per year. All a typical client’s food sources including Market Street are very important to them as the grand total they receive still comes up short of basic nutritional needs. This is especially true since food stamps have been cut so much. 

Please help us by volunteering and/or you can donate to the pantry either on the St Luke’s Granville website or by mailing a check to the parish office:  PO Box 82, Granville, OH   43023. Be sure to mark  “Market Street Pantry or MSP” on the check’s memo line.

NOTE: The pantry is also in need of someone or a couple to clean the premises for a few hours once a week. This can be a volunteer(s) or a paid professional.
