We call on Director of Parish Renewal Julie St. Croix to continue supporting the food pantry at Transfiguration Catholic Church in the Pigtown neighborhood of Baltimore. All over the country people are struggling with high grocery prices, rents, and healthcare bills. Our incomes have not kept up with these rising costs. While we live in the richest country in human history, poverty has become one of the top 4 leading causes of death. Over 500 poor and working class people depend every month on this food pantry. It is a lifeline.
Like the early Christians who were impoverished and came together to meet their survival needs, and like the great Maryland Abolitionist Harriet Tubman - we must make a way where there is no way.
While Transfiguration Church is set to close in December right before the holidays, our community will not be made to suffer for this decision. We must demand that our food pantry stay open and keep doing its good works, our lord’s work! We have a right to live!
Add your name to this call to keep the food pantry open.
