Betty Lou's Pantry, our local food pantry serving the Southern Lehigh area, is very low on certain items due to the cancellation of the annual post office food drive as well as multiple small collections that were done by local businesses, sports teams, schools and more.  You can help in the following ways:

1.) All are invited to bring food donations to the pantry on Sunday, August 16 between 10:00am and 1:00pm located at the pantry, 333 East Oxford Street in Coopersburg. Please remain in your car, drive up around the perimeter of the parking lot and stop at the tents outside the pantry. Volunteers will take bags from your trunk or back seat to minimize contact. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

2.) Four food donation drop off sites: Coopersburg and Center Valley U.S. Post Offices, Southern Lehigh Public Library, all during their business hours. Betty Lou's Pantry is open to drop off donations, every Wednesday, 9-10 AM.   

At this time, the pantry is most in need of the following items:

·         Hearty Soups with Meat

·         Boxed Pasta (not spaghetti)

·         Boxed Potatoes

·         Canned Pasta in Sauce (Chef Boy-R-Dee Ravioli type items)

·         Meat Helpers (Chicken, Meat and Tuna Helper)

Thank you for helping our friends in need!

Appeal

Our parish has a deep history of generosity in support of the Bishop's Annual Appeal, renamed to reflect the nature of the Diocesan-wide appeal. A volunteer Trust Advisory Board ensures donations directly support critical support services for children, families, friends and neighbors in the five counties served by our diocese. Please take a few moments to read the letter and brochure you should have received from our Bishop, Alfred A. Schlert. Your gift directly supports community services, education, senior care, parish life, and much more. 

You can find more information and make your gift online at www.BecauseWeAreCatholic.org.

If you prefer donating by check, please make payable to "Annual Appeal"and mail to the diocese:

Be sure to stipulate St.Joseph Church, Coopersburg, parishioner, in memo line. Please do not send the donations to our Rectory.
