Thanks to your generosity each week, we are able to sustain and strengthen the vital outreach services provided through Santa Maria Mission. Your donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items support two important efforts:
First, some of these items are used to prepare bags for our homeless neighbors — with ready-to-eat foods that do not require cooking.
Second, your contributions help us supplement the food pantry boxes we provide to more than 120 families in need.
We invite you to consider donating any of the items listed below. Donations may be placed in the collection bins located in the church foyer or parish hall, or you may coordinate directly with our Mission Manager for drop-off.
Every item makes a difference. Please give what you can — together, we nourish both body and spirit in our community!
If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Hector Amortegui (813) 961-1061 or email us smmission@stmarytampa.org
