Did you know in order to partake in the Food Assistance Program (SNAP), participants must either be employed or provide community service hours?There are some exemptions but many think folks get something for nothing when, in fact, they must volunteer the number of hours they would receive in food assistance divided by minimum wage. For example, to receive $157, a person must volunteer 20 hours a month to get food for themselves and their family (20 hours x $7.85).

St. James White Oak 

Currently serving more than 900+ individuals representing over 300 families including 350+ children and 80 seniors each month.

Serving residents in North Fairmount area including English Woods, Roll Hill Apts, and Millvale area once every 30 days. See website or call Parish Office to see if your street is covered.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, special considerations have been implemented at the Food Pantry.   
· Call 921-1044 each day to be certain the pantry is open.    

As volunteers, we serve our clients a large portion of love and respect, along with a huge selection of the healthiest foods available from the Freestore Foodbank, as well as Cincinnati Whole Foods Market.   

What makes our food pantry so great, is that we care so much for the folks we serve and model to them Christ’s commandment to care for each other. It is commonplace to see our clients help one another, without being asked, demonstrating a real sense of community, an indication that they not only feel Christ’s love, but are also willing to share. Caring becomes contagious! 

We depend on volunteers to help with the many aspects of running the St. Leo Food Pantry. If you are interested in helping out a few hours a day, a week, or a month, please contact Amy Kleeman at 513-921-1044 or email  info@saint-leo.org for more information, or to sign up!   

Snow closings will be announced on Channels 9 & 19 as well as Facebook. And, if Cincinnati Public Schools announces closing due to hazardous road conditions, the pantry will also be closed. (Pantry will not close when CPS closes due to extreme cold or COVID surges.)
