Sister Helen’s Food Pantry was founded in 1983 by Sister Mary Helen Buscarino. Inspired by her missionary work in Brazil, Sister Helen—often called the “Mother Teresa of Lockport”—initially operated the pantry from her backyard to support local residents and migrant farm workers. Today, a volunteer board oversees daily operations under the direction of St. John the Baptist Church and the Director of Mission. Sister Helen’s Pantry is 100% volunteer-run. Because no one receives a salary, every donation goes directly toward stocking our shelves, maintaining our building, and supporting our clients.
