St. John's Outreach Ministries
St. John's Volunteers serve the Niagara Falls community through many different avenues.
Below are just a few of the ways St. John's shares God's love with others.
Grace Pantry
Project SHARE
Grace Pantry is an emergency food bank serving the food insecure in the Niagara region since 2015.
Operated by Niagara Falls Christian Ministries utilizing space at St. Johns and donations from parishioners, the pantry operates by appointment.
Non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and gift cards to No Frills and Food Basics are graciously accepted. Donations may be left in the basket labeled Grace Pantry in the church worship space.
To schedule an appointment or arrange a donation, please call Christine or Darlene at 905-356-5634 or 647-464-3774.
Project SHARE is an acronym for: Support, Housing, Awareness, Resources, and Emergency.
Project SHARE (1991) was developed as a non-profit charitable organization in response to an increased demand for emergency services.
Residents of Niagara Falls who are living on or below the poverty line, as stipulated by Statistics Canada, are eligible.
The programs are designed to create positive, proactive alternatives in order that people can help themselves and their families in times of crisis.
Project SHARE helps over 120 people each day with emergency services.
Donations of food or supplies may be left in the red barrel in the narthex of the church.
