The St. James Food Pantry started in 1996, the vision of a St. James member, the late Anna Lou Lenz. We provide non-perishable and perishable food items as well as fresh produce and personal supplies to less fortunate families and individuals in Ohio County, Marshall County, and Belmont County. What began with only a small bag of groceries being distributed to a few families has now developed into a program which provides for literally thousands of Ohio Valley residents.
