The St. Kate’s/CSJ Food Access Hub is a collaborative project between St. Kate’s and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet serving the St. Kate’s community without distinction. Our food system prioritizes health equity, cultural inclusivity, environmental sustainability, care, and compassion.
We serve St. Kate’s community members collaboratively through partnerships with the community gardens, educational departments, and other community organizations. Faculty and staff members who make the food shelf function do so on a volunteer basis, guided by student workers.
To support members of the St. Kate’s community who may be facing food insecurity, CSJ Young Adult Spirituality and Community Engagement partners with the Center for Spirituality and Social Justice as well as with faculty, staff, and the CSJ community from across the University to run and supply the St. Kate’s/CSJ Food Access Hub. Thanks to our community partners and the Sisters of St. Joseph for providing us with the space, donations, and support in fighting food insecurity.
Any St. Kate’s community member is welcome to use the food shelf, and create a bag of groceries that serves their needs. We offer fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, and an assortment of other foods that will provide a balanced diet.
The food shelf is open on the first and third Wednesday of every month from 12–6 p.m. and is located in the Carondelet Center Kitchen 101, on the CSJ campus across from The O’Shaughnessy. No appointments needed!
If the food shelf’s open hours do not accommodate your availability, please reach out to foodshelf@stkate.edu to arrange a pick-up time that works with your schedule.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email foodshelf@stkate.edu.
If you are interested in supporting the St. Kate’s food shelf, please email us at foodshelf@stkate.edu. Your donation will go directly to the fight against food insecurity in the St. Kate’s community. While we appreciate all donations, monetary contributions are especially appreciated. For every dollar donated we are able to purchase $5.00 of food and personal care items from local food banks.
