We are hunger fighters.

For nearly forty years, Our Lord’s Table food pantry, a fruitful partnership amongst St. Paul’s, the neighborhood, and the San Antonio Food Bank, has contributed to hunger relief for thousands of San Antonio’s most impoverished.

Our Lord’s Table is a direct connection of taking our experience of Christ in the Eucharist to serving him in the poor. Volunteers from the parish and the neighborhood gather twice a month at the church to distribute groceries to over one hundred families.

There is a continuing need for funds to purchase food from the San Antonio Food Bank for distribution to those with food insecurity in St. Paul’s immediate neighborhoods. If you can contribute to this hallmark ministry of St. Paul’s, please designate your gift to “Our Lord’s Table,” and the parish treasurer will acknowledge it. Your generosity and willingness to take action are critical to the continued success of this ministry.

This program assists families living in these zip codes: 78208, 78209, and 78215.

In the Scriptures, Christ calls us to be good stewards of our gifts and share with those less fortunate. For this reason, we have established a food pantry to help our fellow brothers and sisters with their immediate needs.

Those in need can receive gifts of nonperishable food items donated by our congregation and surrounding business and community leaders.

The Lord continues to provide for us in this ministry, but we always need help. To donate, you may bring items to church on Sunday or drop them by the office during regular office hours.
