This is a direct service ministry whose goal is to promote food security for members of the St. Camillus family and local residents. Food security is access to safe, adequate, sufficient, easy-to-use, and culturally appropriate food at all times of the year. The largest activity of this ministry is the operation of two Food Pantries, one in the rectory basement and one in Langley Park, which provide emergency food assistance to families in need. Pantry hours: Silver Spring –  Friday - 3-5PM, Saturday 10-12 noon; at our Langley Park location – Saturday 10-12 noon. If you are in need of food, please contact the friary office at 301-434-8400.

Free nutrition classes are given in Spanish in the Langley Park Food Pantry. Completion of this program provides one with a food safety certificate.
