Food Pantry

I Am The Bread of Life

​

Since 1970, Calvary has been the food arm of the Central Louisville Community Ministries, an ecumenical consortium of downtown churches. Calvary takes its mission to provide outreach ministries to the people in the immediate neighborhood very seriously. Through the generosity of parishioners and friends, Calvary has been at the forefront of responding to the needs of the community. The food pantry hands out grocery staples, hygiene products, and pet supplies. If you would like to donate, please contact Margaret Dickinson by calling 502-641-9463 or emailing bachcouple@aol.com.

​

The food ministry is open:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 9:30 am - 11:30 am

Groceries are distributed from the garden, through the gate on the south side of the church building.

Abby's Library 

Abby's Library was started by parishioner Stephanie Smith, in memory of her niece Abby who died of cancer at the age of 27.  Abby loved to read and was the daughter of children's librarians.  While Stephanie was volunteering in schools in the West End, she became aware of the need for books for children and families to add to their homes. The library is intended to serve the children of the families who come to our food and clothes closets. Stephanie started providing books and now others bring in books as well.
