Joseph's Pantry at Grace St. Paul's Episcopal Church

Joseph's Pantry
This ministry strives to create a safe haven which provides both physical and emotional food for people in need. Each of our volunteers uses the spiritual lessons and gifts gained at GSP to help bring dignity and hope to people who are suffering hardship. The volunteers represent a wide variety of ages, professions, and spiritual backgrounds. Joseph's Pantry is a ministry of and for not only the GSP community but the entire Tucson community.

Bread from the Pantry
This ministry is a bread redistribution program that allows volunteers and GSP "to be bread" for each other and the wider community. Bread is picked up seven nights a week from Beyond Bread, repackaged at GSP, and then delivered to social service agencies and churches in Tucson. GSP's bread bundles provide food for people who are homeless or living in shelters.

Social Services
This ministry's vision is to act on the baptismal covenant which instructs respect for the dignity of each individual. Volunteers do this by acting as companions and advocates. They are available each weekday morning to facilitate ID requests, provide bus passes, make referrals to other community agencies, and help address risks that can lead to homelessness.
