February 7, 2021, Prince of Peace featured three of the Pantry volunteers (who are members of
the parish) in the weekly homily. While Pantry volunteers come from many backgrounds and faiths,
listening to these three tells much about all of the wonderful people who volunteer to serve
their neighbors by working at the Pantry.
