Greetings to all our friends supporting St. Peter’s Kitchen…
This year we assisted many guests with food, friendship and care. Without your support this never would have been possible. We understand the economy is in dire straits and the poor outlook has raised havoc on every one’s family budget. However, as we enter into the 2008 – 2009 fundraising event, we deeply appreciate your consideration of our ministry as a worthy cause for your financial support during our fund raising campaign and throughout the year.
Asking for your support is something we gladly do… although it not one of the “duties” that comes easily. The staff at St Peter’s Kitchen sees God’s tangible hand at work every day, yet words seem inadequate in portraying how profound your presence is felt through your financial contributions, daily prayers, and volunteer help.
This year, one of our guest’s has graciously consented to share his experience. His message adds a perspective that we cannot convey ourselves. Jaime Zurita has spent many hours volunteering at St. Peter’s while he pursued employment during rough times. He is a kind a caring person who overcame adversity. We are very proud and pleased to be of help to him and his family in their time of need while he transitioned into his new life. This is what St. Peter’s is all about…
Please take a moment to read Jaime’s heartfelt testimonial to St. Peter’s daily efforts which are made possible through your contributions by clicking on this link…
Without your contributions and support, letters of appreciation like Jaime’s would not be possible. With your help, we are very proud to provide our guests with much needed community service in our area, especially during tough economic times and high unemployment. With the high cost of food, we anticipate the number of guests we serve on a daily basis will increase in 2009…
Please take a moment to sign up on our email list and either contribute online through Pay Pal or mail a check to St. Peter’s Kitchen INC at P.O. Box 11031 Rochester, NY 14611. Also, as a reminder, our United Way Donor Option Number is 1324. Notify your employer if you care to donate through the United Way.
We are very excited about our new website. We can now communicate with our supporters in a much more cost effective manner than ever before, especially with the rising cost of postage. The board felt the addition of online campaigning was a very cost effective endeavor. Any help you can provide St. Peter’s Kitchen, either now or any time during the year is most appreciated. Every penny you send us is used to alleviate some of the burden of our disenfranchised family.
Thank you for your prayers and your willingness to be part of this ministry… Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter. We will keep you up to date with photos, videos, and upcoming events. We want to share with you all year round what our ministry is accomplishing with your generous contributions.
