Announcing the "Lucky Thirteen!"

The Affton Christian Food Pantry is pleased to announce the addition of the thirteenth area church to support our mission! Affton Presbyterian Church, located at 9217 Gravois Road, recently joined the twelve other area churches who assist our mission of providing food to families in need here in the Affton area. The Affton Christian Food Pantry began in 2004, as an off-shoot of the St. George Catholic Church St. Vincent de Paul Society. In 2006, six other Affton churches joined St. George and the Affton Christian Food Pantry was born. The ACFP is located at 4960 Heege Rd, in the St. George Parish Center. Last year, the ACFP provided groceries for more than 2,400 family visits. Families who demonstrate a financial need can visit the pantry once every two weeks, where they fill a grocery cart with produce, meat, bread, eggs, butter, pastries, and non-perishable items. To learn more about the Affton Christian Food Pantry, to make a donation, or to see our current volunteer openings, please visit our website at: afftonchristianfoodpantry.com. As Affton Presbyterian Church is learning, together, we can make a difference!
