Community Cupboard 2024/25 Update

On behalf of the Council and leadership of Historic St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, we would like to provide an update on our important Community Cupboard program for the 2024/25 season. 

After much prayer and thoughtful consideration, we have come to the difficult decision to pause Community Cupboard for this upcoming season. The decision was not a financial one, as we had the assets allocated for this season; but rather a decision based on the safety of our volunteers and guests. With the current changes on site, we could not come up with a satisfactory plan that we felt would ensure safety week in and week out.

We thank you for your continued prayer and support for Community Cupboard, and we wanted to be transparent with the current status of the program. At this time, we will hold off on accepting items and donations to Community Cupboard, until further notice.

The future is still bright for Community Cupboard, and the addition of Affordable Housing has always been seen as a complement to our cupboard program – allowing us to continue to serve our community with food and clothing in the future, while adding housing on top of that. We will revaluate the Community Cupboard program again, ahead of our 2025/26 season.

Should you have any questions, please reach out to us at any time.
