Pete & Andy's Food Pantry in partnership with St. Peter's & St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Providence, Rhode Island is seeking bilingual volunteers to work Saturday mornings. We are a small parish with a big mission-- each Saturday, we provide groceries to 130-160 families from the 02908 zip code.
Most of our guests are Spanish speaking, primarily from South America. We need assistance doing guest registration/intake, and helping our guests shop in the food pantry.

We welcome volunteers to come every week, once a month, or as often as you'd like. Arrival time is 9:30 am on Saturday morning and we are usually done by noon.
This is COVID conscious environment and we follow state guidelines. (mask wearing, social distancing and gloves provided.)

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.
