What We Do
Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry reaches out to our church family, neighbors and greater community with food and financial assistance for utilities and other needs.
The vision of the Ministry is to inspire our community to generosity as we provide help and hope to people struggling with limited financial resources.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all parishioners that continue to support the Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry. During the month of July 2024, we were able to provide non-perishable supplies 273 individuals, 2,579 pounds of food supplies provided in addition to providing help to 26 cases of utility assistance-many of these prevented cut offs during the hot days of summer. We are truly grateful for all the help of our generous parishioners for helping to make this possible!
The Assistance Ministry is located in the old church building. Volunteers assist clients with the process of applying for financial help and with the distribution of groceries. Ministry volunteers are always welcome and encouraged to work in our office one day per week or to assist in keeping the food pantry organized and up-to-date.
The Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry is not a subordinate organization, but an affiliated Parish organization of Corpus Christi Parish. Corpus Christi is a subordinate organization of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston as a non-profit organization; no part of the net earnings thereof inures to the benefit of any individual.
The Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry is in need of your generous donations to our pantry. The Ministry is always in need of non-perishable shelf-stable supplies.
