St. Peter's Food Cupboard, 313 Pine Street, Philadelphia, PA (2026)

Arising from the need in our city, St. Peter's Food Cupboard has been in operation since 1987. Our ministry began with a knock on the church doors from someone in search of food. This event sparked a question and the answer was the creation of St. Church members realized it was within their power, capacity and responsibility to help. St. Peter's Food Cupboard exists to serve our neighborhood and it became clear that operating a food cupboard would be one way to serve people in need in our area. In recent years the number of families we serve on a weekly basis has skyrocketed to an average of around 180 families. Every week we have the opportunity to directly impact our neighbors in need and volunteers always have the profound experience of being impacted in return. We believe that no one should go hungry and organize our efforts at St. Peter's Food Cupboard around making food available at no cost to our clients who come on Saturday mornings. While the food cupboard is only a supplemental food source for our clients it can be relied upon without fail week in and week out thanks to our volunteers, donors and everyone who pitches in to make a difference. Our volunteers know first hand the impact that the food cupboard has. This page is to connect volunteers, donors and clients to news and information about St.

Thank you to this team from TD Bank who volunteered at the St. Peter's Food Cupboard last week! They distributed fresh vegetables and shelf-stable food to all those who came through our doors! We are so appreciative of everyone who supports the work of the Food Cupboard.

Show the Food Cupboard some love this Valentine's Day! We have received many food donations, but what we need most right now is your time on Saturday mornings. In recent weeks, the Food Cupboard did not have enough volunteers to open the church leaving our guests to stand out in the cold while they waited to get their food. If you are free on Saturday morning, please consider joining us.
