Good Neighbors Hosts Open House for St. Brendan's

Parishioners of St. Brendan Church, Riverside, participated in an Open House recently for Good Neighbors. Relocated in November from Bristol to its current home, the non-profit organization operates a soup kitchen, food pantry and day shelter in the former St. Brendan School on Turner Avenue.

“We are excited with the interest and compassion shown by parishioners,” noted Good Neighbors President Wendy Davis. “We would like to help as many in need as possible in our community with food, clothing and other essential services,” she stated.

Good Neighbors is the only soup kitchen in the East Bay that serves a hot breakfast and lunch Monday to Friday. East Providence families in need of food are invited to select a bag of groceries once a month from the Food Pantry. The Clothes Closet offers clothing, shoes and hygiene products. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the spacious center offers a warm, welcoming environment to meet the need for daytime shelter.

Donations of non-perishable food, clothing and hygiene products are always welcome and can dropped off weekdays at the site on the lower level of St. Brendan School, accessed from the Dorr Avenue entrance. For more information, call 401-433-0045 or visit their website at www.goodneighborsri.org.
