St. Augustine Ministry to the Poor is an outgrowth of the ministry and service of St. Augustine Church. This parish has a long history of service from its beginning in 1860 when it welcomed an impoverished immigrant community. It provided food for the poor during the depression and hard economic times.

 

Over 50 years ago, the Parish founded a Hunger Center. A Center that addresses the needs of the poor and the homeless such as, food, clothing, emergency funding for rent and utilities, furniture, appliances, birth certificate, state identification card, as well as advocation for those poor seeking medical help, benefits and housing.

 

We realize that those on the margins are not just hungry for nutrition. They are thirsting for so much more, such as; community, spirituality, socialization, and acceptance. We are honored that we can provide a place where all who come to us find acceptance and the love of God and neighbor.

 

In response to the growing need of food and clothing assistance, St. Augustine established the Community Cupboard in the spring of 2022 and the Community Closet the fall of 2022.

​

The Community Cupboard and Closet is open every Saturday from 11 am - 3 pm on the first floor of the St. Augustine school building.
