The Food Pantry at St. Paul’s

Food insecurity is a critical subject for both St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Emmaus House. Did you know that approximately 8% of the 11.2 million Georgia residents experience food insecurity? Help us reduce that percentage by supporting St. Paul’s Food Pantry, a partnership between St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Emmaus House with support from the Episcopal Community Foundation.

At St. Paul’s, we recognize that our faith is most visible when we engage with the practical needs of our community. Emmaus House, one of the oldest continuous ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, likewise seeks to dismantle barriers to opportunity in the communities we serve.

When families are faced with food insecurity, it perpetuates a cycle of overlapping issues that affect their development and their ability to pursue opportunity.

Each month, the food pantry provides fresh and packaged produce, protein, and canned goods to more than 200 families located in Beecher Hills, Florida Heights, and Westwood Terrace.

Hunger Walk

Every year, over one hundred St. Paul’s parishioners participate in the Hunger Walk/Run, the largest annual fundraising event benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB). The ACFB partners with local non-profit organizations, including the Episcopal Community Foundation (ECF), to use the funds raised from the Hunger Walk to support Georgians suffering from hunger and food insecurity.

St. Paul’s is passionate about fighting Hunger. Within the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, St. Paul’s has been the top fundraising parish for the Hunger Walk every year since 2018. St. Paul’s has raised over $180,000 for hunger relief in Georgia over the past eight years and has won the coveted Bishop’s Cup eight years in a row.

Funds raised by St. Paul’s in the annual Hunger Walk will now go directly toward supporting the St. Paul’s – Emmaus House Food Pantry as well as our partners at the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Voter Education & Protection Committee

The St. Paul’s Voter Education and Protection Committee was established in 2020, grounded in scripture and civil rights legacy. We are committed to increasing knowledge of and participation and action around voter registration and voting through regular forums, information sharing and more. Please check the St. Paul’s weekly ENews and Bulletin for announcements of upcoming events and email contact information.

We welcome and encourage new members, and participation from our youth and adults at St. Paul’s and from the wider community.
