Joyful Missionary Disciples Program

Little Free Pantry

Our Little Free Pantry is finally here!

Thank you Knights of Columbus, Msgr. Kohler #15204 for building it for us!

We hope everyone in our community will use this box, both to bring food, but also to take food when they need a little help. Look for it next to our office building!
