PLANS UNDERWAY FOR OUR 5TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

Mark your calendars for Friday, September 11, 2020 for Saint Peter’s Kitchen’s 5th Annual Golf Tournament at Eagle Vale Golf Course in Fairport. Our committee is working hard on planning an exciting day of golf, prizes, food and refreshments.

The big announcement is that the golfer fee of $125 per player will remain the same. We are having a special emphasis on recruiting new golfers and sponsors this year, so if you haven’t golfed with us in the past, please consider adding St. Peter’s Tournament to your calendar this year!

Back-to-School Backpack Program

Every August, the school year begins for our community members with a flurry of activity at SPK. For many years, we have put on the Backpack Program- a school supply and book-bag giveaway for kids in the community going back to school.

This year, due in large part to the efforts and generosity of the , we were able to give out 126 backpacks with grade-appropriate supplies inside! Students face enough barriers to success at school without having to worry about having the basics for class, so we are grateful that through the persistent support of our funders and volunteers we were able to promote these students’ academic success.
