DISTRIBUTION TIME: By appointment only - call the rectory for more information
Sacred Heart is proud to sponsor one of the most active parish based food pantries in the South Bronx. Many Highbridge residents (parishioners and non-Catholics) gather each week to prepare and distribute hundreds of pounds of food to needy neighbors and the homeless. Our partners in faith, St. Patrick's Parish in Bedford, NY take up a monthly collection to insure that we are able to provide additional items that are often overlooked. Sacred Heart School and Cardinal Hayes High School take up yearly food drives to make sure we are well stocked for the holidays and winter months. Thanks to Sr. Laurie Fitzgerald, OP and Tollentine-Zeiser, our food pantry is in operation 48 weeks per year.
