Helping Hands Food Pantry on Sterling Place was run by the St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church.
A Brooklyn Diocese spokesperson told News 12 that the pantry is closing because volunteers would not complete mandatory compliance training after running the pantry for years.
According to the spokesperson, a Christmas party for kids with incarcerated parents and a Haiti relief program were among other programs that were cut as well.
He says the pantry was mismanaged and the relief program was wiring money back to Haiti, which did not look good for the church.
The spokesperson added that there are several other pantries in walking distance of this church.
The final day for the pantry is this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
