Our Parish Hunger Center Helps Families in Need

St. Aloysius has been involved in the distribution of food for over 100 years, providing bags of food to needy families in the Glenville area once a month. Working with nearby parishes and local food banks, the Hunger Center also provides a hot meal program every Tuesday of the week. These nutrition programs are often opportunities for education as well, helping people of Cuyahoga County access community resources, addressing some of the systemic causes of poverty and thus offering the people of the area a sign of hope.

Saint Aloysius operates one of Greater Cleveland’s food pantries; serving approximately 500 families per month with a 3 day supply of groceries (includes dry goods, fresh produce, other perishables and meats). Residents in need of emergency assistance call the Parish House to schedule an appointment Monday – Friday from 8:00-11:00am (appointment only).

Food distribution is every Tuesday from 4:00 – 5:30pm, and the fourth Saturday of the month at 9:00am.
