Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is a program designed to help needy individuals in the St. Marcus family and immediate neighborhoods by offering free food and clothing.
It is staffed by nine St. Marcus volunteers. Every grocery bag is packed with non-perishable items that help families eat for two or three meals. During a typical month, the food pantry serves 150-180 clients. The staff also provides information about services, Time of Grace and other church activities as an outreach to the clients.
The Food Pantry is open Monday mornings from 8:30am – 11:30am; it is closed during the summer months and reopens the week after Labor Day.
The Ministry is strong but can always use prayers and nonperishable or monetary donations to continue the outreach to the surrounding community of St. Marcus. The food pantry accepts donations year-round and any donations big or small is appreciated. For more information or to make a donation, please contact the church office, 414.562.3369.

Parish Nursing
The Parish Nurse ministry at St. Marcus Lutheran Church and School is a wellness based practice. Each of the registered nurses (RN) who participate in this volunteer ministry at St. Marcus is currently licensed in the state of Wisconsin. It is the underlying goal of parish nursing that each member of the congregation and each student in the school be as healthy as possible so that he/she can serve the Lord to the fullest.
Here at St. Marcus the nurses do nothing invasive– in other words, no shots. Rather, they adhere to the basic philosophy of parish nursing in the following four roles: health education, health counseling, community liaison and mobilizer of volunteers. The nurses' faith serves as the fulcrum for each role.
This health ministry will serve as a support to your personal/private health care. Upon pastoral or personal request, the nurse can make a home health visit. Specific examples of how this ministry helps people to “stay well” can be found in the Parish Nurse brochure. Your parish nurses can be reached by contacting the church office at 414-562-3369. Linda Golembiewski serves as your Parish Nurse contact person.
