Church micro pantry meets big need in Brussels

St. Francis and St. Mary Parish in Brussels is now meeting the spiritual and temporal needs of its community.  That came about when a member of the Brussels Gossip page on Facebook asked whether there was a little food pantry in town, similar to a little library.  After it was determined there was none, the parish community and Father Edward Looney saw an opportunity to fulfill Jesus Christ's command to feed those in need.  The Little Food Pantry was erected on May 8th in front of the church on Cemetary Road in Brussels.  Father Looney says it's had an immediate impact.

 

 

 

Tim Buhr, a construction company owner, provided the building materials and his workshop to the project.  He was aided by a St. Francis and St. Mary parishioner and Father Looney, who followed the Lord's pre-ministry lead as a carpenter.  The pantry is open to anyone to take what they need and donate whatever they are able.
