St. Peter’s by-the-Sea

St. Peter’s has a long tradition of providing food for neighbors who have trouble feeding their families.  Seven years ago, a small food closet was transformed into the Community Market, a layout of free groceries open every Friday from 3:00-5:00 in the Parish Hall for all who need food assistance.  Tables are stacked with canned and packaged goods, frozen food, fresh produce and some personal care items for guests to select from.  Guests may return every week.  A posted sign simply states, “Take what you need and remember the needs of others.”
