Catholic Charities of Louisville’s Father Jack Jones Food Pantry, located on the campus of Holy Name Church at 2914 S. Third St., is actively seeking donations and volunteers. The pantry, which has been in operation since 2021, functions similarly to a farmer’s market, with volunteers assisting individuals regardless of weather conditions.

Volunteer opportunities are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. According to an announcement from Catholic Charities, the pantry is particularly in need of an outdoor canopy. Additionally, donations of peanut butter, cereal, pasta, pasta sauce, canned soups and ravioli, rice, and canned vegetables such as corn, beans, and carrots are requested. Monetary contributions to purchase fresh meat weekly are also welcome.

In 2024 alone, the food pantry has served more than 2,000 individuals each month. For further information or to offer assistance, interested parties can send an email to hlanham@archlou.org.
