About St. Luke's Food Pantry: St. Luke's Food Pantry, located in Chelsea, has been serving their community since 2007, providing groceries, warm meals and other basic needs to residents of Chelsea and surrounding cities. They currently serve an average number of 800 families a month, and growing. They distribute food on Saturday's to their community and to those who need services from the food pantry.

There is some lifting involved, however there are tasks for all capabilities.
