CATHOLIC PARISH OUTREACH
****NEW FOOD INITIATIVE****
St. Luke’s will begin having Month-long Targeted Food Drives
Facing tremendous increases in food prices, CPO has reached out to local parishes for help to avoid
having to reduce the level of support to our neighbors in need. In addition to our twice-yearly
general CPO food drives, we will be adding seven MONTH-LONG TARGETED FOOD DRIVES per year in
the months when we do not have other CPO activities. We will collect just one key food staple for
that entire month. There will be a donation box in the lower gathering space.
January 2023’S FOOD TARGET:

CPO recycles THOUSANDS of grocery bags each week and always has a need for your
paper and plastic grocery bags as well as empty egg cartons (1 doz.). These items can be placed in the

Catholic Parish Outreach (CPO) is the largest food pantry in Wake County, NC. It is a program of Catholic Charities, which is a 501c3 non-profit organization. They serve any resident of Wake, Johnston, or Franklin County.
