Director of Our Lady’s Pantry Tom Bullaro and his wife, Anita, work both at the pantry and behind the scenes to serve the hundreds of men, women and children who come for food.

Our Lady’s Pantry has reached capacity of registered recipients due to increasing numbers (serving over 300 each week), as well as a decrease in incoming donations. As a result, and regretfully, we will not be taking new registrations until further notice. Please continue to visit this site, as we will post when new registration recommences at the soonest possible time. Based on our analysis, the projected time would be around January 2026.

Please know this decision was made under careful consideration with the best interest of our patrons and volunteers in mind. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you soon. 

If you need more food for your families, please consider one of the other pantries located in South Hillsborough County. Hopefully, one or more may be of help. Some of these pantries can only serve residents of certain towns, however, so check their boundaries before you go. Also, check when they are open, as these days and times change from time to time.
