The Harvest on Vine Food Pantry offers food twice a month for individuals and families in need in Charlestown. St. John’s supports the Pantry in two ways. Donations of food are always welcome, and can be placed in the Harvest on Vine basket, which is on the left as you enter the church. Bags of white rice are particularly appreciated. Some folks from St. John’s also volunteer at the monthly distributions, which occur on the second Saturday and fourth Tuesday evening of the month. For more information, you can call Harvest on Vine at  (617) 337-3545 or email: tmacdonald@stmarystcatherine.org. You can also call our office and we will put you in touch with parish members here who regularly volunteer.
