HELPING HANDS. The High School and Junior High School Youth Ministries of St. Christopher Church have raised nearly $1,000 to benefit the York Community Food Pantry. On March 13, members of the youth ministry were joined by Rose Cronin of St. Christopher's in presenting York Community Food Pantry Director Tom Whalen with a check for $966 collected as part of the national Souper Bowl of Caring program during Super Bowl weekend. Whalen said the funds donated are a huge help to the pantry, which will in turn be able to buy about $5,000 worth of needed supplies for York's families in need by shopping at special locations that provide food at reduced costs for agencies like the York Community Food Pantry.
