Thank You To Our Sponsors

 

Menegon Catering  is so excited to invite you to an evening that will bring our community together. Enjoy a delicious lobster boil, connect with friends, and create cherished memories. The highlight of the evening will be raising funds for an organization that is so incredibly important to our town - the St. Helena Food Pantry.

Growing up in this community and now raising our own children here, we understand the significance of community. We wanted to select an organization that would use this money and reinvest it back into our community, and this is exactly what the St. Helena Food Pantry does. Our goal is to give back and to raise awareness about an important organization that helps countless families in need.

Whether you can attend our second annual lobster boil in October or not, any donation will be greatly appreciated by this organization. 

Thank you all, we hope to see you all there!

About St. Helena Food Pantry

​

Mission Statement

The primary objectives and purposes of this corporation shall be: to solicit donations of food and money with which to buy food for distribution to low income families. Both perishable and non-perishable food will be provided. These services are provided totally by community volunteers.

Who We Help  

St. Helena Community Food Pantry has served our community for 35 years. Since the pandemic, food insecurity among our neighbors has grown significantly.

Every week of the year, we serve about 100 families facing food insecurity — primarily in St. Helena, Deer Park, Rutherford, and Oakville, and also in Yountville and Pope Valley. Our families range from one to seven members, so we serve roughly 300 people each week, spanning generations from young families to neighbors in their 90s.

What We Provide

Each week, every family receives:

•  A large bag of fresh fruits and vegetables

•  A dairy bag with milk, eggs, butter, and cheese

•  Two types of protein (beef, chicken, fish, or pork)

• Bread & bakery itmes donated by Safeway & the Model Bakery

•  Once a month, we also provide a large bag of shelf-stable pantry staples.

During the pandemic, our volunteers began loading groceries directly into clients’ cars — a service we still offer today, ensuring every visit is safe, dignified, and welcoming. Each summer, a generous local couple donates fresh flowers from their garden, so every family can bring a little extra beauty home to their kitchen table.

We’re grateful every week for the smiles and kind words from the families we serve.

We are an all-volunteer organization, funded entirely by the generosity of our community, and operate as our own 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
