Cathedral Food Pantry

The Cathedral of St. Paul’s Food Pantry has served members of the Erie community for over 28 years. Those in need from State Street to Cascade Street and from 9th Street to the Bay may come on Fridays from 9:30 am – noon. Currently we serve an average of 300 families each month.

We distribute food from the major food groups and a selection of personal care products when available. Food is either purchased through the Second Harvest Food Bank or donated from individuals or organizations.

Our dedicated team of volunteers nourish bodies and souls with warm hospitality.
We also provide between 2 – 12 emergency bags of food for those in immediate need. 

You can help!

Non-perishable foods such as canned tuna, peanut butter, and pasta as well as personal care items like shampoo, toothpaste, soap, and deodorant, are always needed. Donations can be dropped off at the Cathedral office during regular office hours (Monday – Friday, 9 am – 4 pm) or at worship services on Sundays.

Contact the Cathedral Office for more information.

Help the Cathedral Food Pantry

For several months, our food pantry has received significantly less fresh produce than in the past. Because fresh fruits and vegetables are both important to our clients and a valued part of our pantry, we are seeking a way to continue providing them. To better serve those who rely on us, we plan to purchase shares in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. These shares will provide fresh, seasonal produce delivered to the Cathedral
throughout the summer and into the fall. The total cost for four full shares is $6,420.

We invite you to prayerfully consider financially supporting this effort.
If you choose to contribute, please note “CSA” on your check or envelope.

Thank you for your continued generosity.
