St. James’ members donate food and dry goods throughout the year that are distributed to guests of Yorkville Common Pantry in East Harlem. Monthly requests (as announced in the service leaflet) are brought up to the altar during the Eucharist on the first Sunday of each month and placed in a collection basket. At other times, foods may be left in designated baskets in the Narthex.
