The St. Anthony Parish Social Action Committee provides an outreach ministry to those individuals or families who are in need:

• A food pantry is stocked and maintained from items donated by parishioners, enabling us to respond to requests for food from parishioners and neighbors.
   
• Emergency needs for clothing or baby supplies are met whenever donors can be found.
   
• Dozens of complete holiday dinners are provided at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter through the generosity of parishioners.  Christmas gifts are wrapped and donated for families, too.
   
• Over 500 cards are sent annually to parishioners for Birthday, Anniversary, New Birth, Sympathy and Get Well occasions.
   
• Sponsorship of Bristol's St. Vincent de Paul Shelter through the Walk Against Hunger raised hundreds of dollars.
   
• Participation in the Covenant To Care program works with social workers to meet specific needs of families in the local community.
   
• Benefit Breakfasts and Dinners raise money for families who have seriously ill children requiring extensive medical treatments.
