Pete & Andy's Food Pantry is an active Food Pantry in Providence that serves between 175-225 local families in the 02908 neighborhood every week. We are in need of volunteers to help us unload the food order that gets delivered every Friday morning from the Rhode Island Food Bank. Volunteers arrive at 10:30, and it usually takes about 2 hours. Volunteers must be willing and able to lift up to 20 lbs. Most of the boxes weigh 15-20 pounds. Additional side projects may be available such as sweeping the sidewalk, taking out recycling, etc.
We welcome individual volunteers or groups. This is a great opportunity for corporate groups.
We welcome you to come every Friday, or once a month, or once every 6 months!

We are a very inclusive and welcoming church and food pantry.
All are always welcome!

Mission Statement
The mission of Pete & Andy's Food Pantry is to eliminate food insecurity in our community.
Description
Pete & Andy’s Food Pantry is an outreach ministry of St. Peter’s & St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Providence, RI. Our church has been providing groceries to our community since 1970. In 2009 we became an official agency of the RI Food Bank and provided groceries to about 40 families twice a month. Once Covid hit, the Food Bank asked if we would consider opening every week to help combat the high level of food insecurity, especially among minority populations. Despite being a tiny parish with less than 30 members, we said yes. Now, with the help of dozens of volunteers, Pete & Andy’s Food Pantry proudly serves between 130 - 160 families each week.
