Thansgiving and the holiday season are fast approaching!
As we plan our celebrations and feasts, please remember the less fortunate among us.
Now more than ever, they need our help with winter coming.
Please consider volunteering or donating (cash or food) to this cause.
Please contact us at food-pantry@stelizabethtrinityschool.org or through the Rectory.
Thanksgiving Day 9:00 am Mass is a great time to drop off non-perishables in the vestibule!!
Thank you and may God Bless you!!
We have a clientele every Tuesday morning of about 20 – 25 people who are grateful for the help, but we need volunteers to assist with purchasing and then help onsite on Tuesday mornings.
This is an important work of mercy that Jesus Himself calls us to.
If you are able to help either as a purchaser or onsite distributor on Tuesdays, please contact Mike Parilla at mparilla@archchicago.org.
The St. Elizabeth of the Trinity Parish Food Pantry is a ministry of our parish with the objective, for those who serve and are served, to experience the unconditional love of Christ. It is through experiences like this that we can all grow in our relationship with God and know that we are loved.
We continue to serve the community every Tuesday morning from 9:00 am to 10:00 am in the basement of the Social Center/Gym.
Anyone in need is welcomed by our volunteers and may choose items off the shelves of our food pantry.
This wouldn’t be possible without the many parishioners who support this ministry as shoppers, pantry preparers, distribution day helpers, and generous donors.
Our team of about 15-20 volunteers is looking for some additional help.
We need a few more shoppers. Ideally these volunteers shop every other week – given a list and reimbursed for the purchases.
Shoppers of non-perishable items shop and deliver to the shed at their convenience.
Shoppers of perishable items coordinate timing so that we can move the items to refrigeration in a timely manner.
If you would like more information or to volunteer, please email food-pantry@stelizabethtrinityschool.org or call/text Jerry 773-316-7896.
Our distribution day volunteer signup is available at:

We are always appreciative of donations.
Non-perishable items may be left in the back of church or in the shed located next to the gym entrance available 24/7.
Financial donations may be made through Faith Direct (electronic giving) or at the Parish Office.
We are open for anyone in the community who needs our support !
With Love & Peace,
Shannon and Jerry Nelson
