At St. Peter’s Kitchen, we believe that every meal we serve and every act of care we offer carries the potential to transform a life. This year alone, we’ve served 157,000 meals and provided groceries to 2,148 families with friendly faces and open hearts. 

We’re bringing nourishment and hope to families right here in Rochester; Families like the Harrises, who came to us after losing everything in a house fire. For the Harrises, we provided not just food but connection—ensuring they knew they weren’t alone during one of their darkest times. They recently shared with us, "I never imagined I’d need help like this, but St. Peter’s gave us hope when we had nothing else."

But, the need remains urgent as the number of families coming through our doors continues to rise. Based on our projections, we anticipate a 62% increase in our daily Lunch Program and a staggering 396% increase in households using our Pantry Program in 2025.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Give a Gift: Make a donation before December 31st to provide nutritious food to families in need.
  • Donate Goods: Right now, the kitchen could use mayonnaise, grape and strawberry jelly, and paper towels!
  • Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on our impact and opportunities to get involved.
  • Volunteer: Share your time and skills to support our programs.

Every gift this holiday season helps ensure that more families can end the year with hope.

Together, we can build a community where no one has to face hunger alone.

From all of us at St. Peter’s Kitchen, I send you and those you love warmest wishes for peace and joy this  holiday season and the best of health in 2025. 

With gratitude,
Bob Boyd
