The PSM Pantry

Who is served by the PSM Pantry?

Families receiving Food Stamps
Families whose income meet or fall below the Federal Poverty Level
Parishioners and our neighbors in Round Rock
Young single moms
Persons on fixed incomes (the elderly, the disabled)

Why have a PSM Pantry?

To fill the void in the community for these items
A person’s dignity is also related to personal hygiene and a personable appearance
To supplement families of the items they can not use the Food Stamps to purchase.
To serve and build relationships with the poor and vulnerable

Items stocked in the PSM Pantry:

Diapers, baby powder, baby wash, baby wipes
Shampoo and conditioner
Deodorant, disposable razors
Bar soap, feminine products (sanitary napkins)
Dish soap, laundry detergent, fabric softener (sheets)
Household cleaners, paper towels, toilet paper
Toothpaste, toothbrushes

Make a difference in someone’s life and volunteer at the Pantry, go shopping for the Pantry, make in-kind donations and donate to the “Black Bag” special collection each month.
