St. Patrick’s Food Pantry at Hope Outreach Center

Weekly, St. Norbert College parishioners are asked to bring food items to the St. Norbert College Parish. These items are then delivered to St. Patrick’s Food Pantry. Parishioners also have the opportunity to volunteer at the Hope Outreach Center, which is open Monday-Thursday, 1-3 p.m.

About Hope Outreach Center
The Hope Outreach Center houses St. Patrick’s Food Pantry, an interim pantry on the West side of Green Bay, in which those in need receive food to tie them over until pay checks or food share cards are received, or until transportation to another panty, that disperses food more frequently, is available. It also houses Love Life, which provides basic infant needs for low income families. In 2016 St. Patrick’s Pantry served 1437 different families – an average of 387 families per month.
