Our Staff:

Patty Lorenzen

Program Director: Patricia Lorenzen
Patty is a former member of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish. She has been with the kitchen for over 8 years. She grew up in Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Thurston Rd./Brooks Ave. area and feels she has "come home" through her work at the kitchen.

Patty became Co-Director with Sr. Barbara Kuhn for her first 4 years. She became Director when Sr. Barbara Kuhn started a new ministry in the Cohocton/Wayland area. She say's: "Every day is a new adventure as we never know from minute to minute what we will be called to stock, store, prepare and serve. It is a joy to see how God's work is so tangible in our daily ministry. Between the wonderful spirit of our volunteers and our ability to help so many neighbors through the generosity of our benefactors, everyday is a miracle."
