Our Food Pantry at St John’s Student Center on Saturday mornings serves hundreds of our neighbors from the East Lansing and MSU communities each month. Challenges in meeting their needs have increased significantly during the pandemic and even more so in recent months. Even with so much already being done to reduce hunger, in 2021, our community had a family food insecurity rate of 13%.

Our Food Pantry is a true blessing. It is operated by parish volunteers through our St Vincent de Paul Society.
Key sources of support are:- Donations of food and money from our parishioners,
- Food from the Greater Lansing Food Bank and by Bimbo Bakery, and
- The Simply Give program offered to us annually by Meijer through their store on Lake Lansing Road.
Volunteer — If you are available, help us throughout the week and especially late on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
Donate — Food and personal need items.
Contribute $$ — We value your financial support at any time to purchase items not available through the Greater Lansing Food Bank.
Encourage Others — Remind your friends and family to participate.
Since 2008, the strong partnership between Meijer’s Simply Give and hundreds of food pantries throughout the Midwest resulted in more than $69 million in support.
