More info on Rochester HOPE and how we will be serving:
Rochester Hope runs a food pantry on Saturdays, from 9-3:30, at St. Michael's. They usually have about 250-300 households (asylum seekers, refugees, and general poor) come for help each Saturday. The ministry serves both breakfast and lunch as people wait. In addition, they have various service agencies that come from 11-1 to offer their services to those waiting (jobs, housing, basic healthcare, recovery, etc). On Saturday the 13th, we will help people shop in the pantry, stocking shelves, and providing hospitality as people are waiting(helping with breakfast or lunch, hanging out and coloring with kids as their parents wait, etc).
