ECHO provides a full range of services that restores individual and family self-sufficiency and feelings of self-worth, as well as food, clothing, household items, furniture, and weekend meals for those who are hungry and homeless. St.Peter’s helps with serving these weekend meals, six times per year, at First Presbyterian Church. Watch for upcoming dates in the Keys. This is a great ministry for all to be involved! Contact Margaret Anne Clark at willae@embarqmail.com to sign up.

Also, St. Peter’s is ECHO’s “Peanut Butter Church”. We provide the peanut butter that goes in 75-100 bags of groceries each week. Just bring a jar of peanut butter each week and place it in the basket on the back pew on Sundays or in the red bin at the end of the Sunday school hallway.

St. Peter's shield - small Good Samaritan Ministry

Good Samaritan Ministry is designed to help people who come to the doors of St. Peter’s in a financial crisis as well as St. Peter’s parishioners who have fallen on hard times. The staff, priests and parishioners of St. Peter’s demonstrate the love of Christ by listening to their story,  praying with them, and getting them to the community program best suited to help all without neglecting their basic needs. Help has been provided in the following ways: food bags, food cards, transportation, bus passes, and shelter.

Forty-two percent of Good Samaritan resources have provided help to members of our own St. Peter’s Families. All resources are funded by donation. If you would like to help fund the Good Samaritan program, please write a check to St. Peter’s Anglican Church with Good Samaritan program in the memo line.
