The food pantry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church (IHM) serves its Windsor Terrace and Kensington neighbors who are in need.
The pantry distributes non-perishable items, such as cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned vegetables, canned fruit, soup, tuna fish, crackers, non-refrigerated (UHT) milk (Parmalat or other brands), and other non-perishable goods as well as personal care items. Donations of these items are gratefully received.
Donations of heavy-duty reusable grocery bags to distribute the food, such as the ones from Fresh Direct and other delivery services, are also appreciated. Bring your bags to the rectory (next to the church) and indicate that they are for the food pantry.

FOOD PANTRY“To distribute food to those in need”The IHM Food Pantry provides non-perishable food and personal care items to families and senior citizens in our parish and local community. During the holiday season, families also receive clothing, toys, and gifts. Emergency distributions are available when a local family is in crisis.Our volunteers work together as a team to make sure the shelves are stocked, donations are picked up and brought to the food pantry, and ample bags are prepared and distributed to the recipients on a monthly basis.From time to time, people do struggle to meet their financial obligations, and as a Christian community we are charged to care for the poor, elderly, needy, disabled, and homebound.Donations are needed for distribution each month. Please place food donations in the baskets located in the side vestibules of the church.The Food Pantry is supported by the generosity of our parishioners. For an application, or to volunteer time at the pantry, please contact G. Cassone by calling the Rectory at (718) 871-1310 ext.10.
