Dear Neighbors,

St. Peter SVdP Schedule Aug. 2025: We have 5 Saturdays to cover in August. Please sign up right away, especially if you can help this Saturday. Please consider taking 2 Saturdays this month and recruit peeps to come with you!

Community Meal: The next Community Meal will be Sept. 13th 11:00 - 1:00 pm. Please Save the Date and plan on helping, If you have questions, please contact Angela Wilder at angwilder3@gmail.com

A Story from the Heart: Our pantry has become increasingly popular this year. We are open on Saturdays because we want to help the working poor. People are trying to make their money go further by taking advantage of pantries in the neighborhood. We are only open from 1:30 - 2:30 pm and we have been serving over 70 people in that time frame. That is double of what we used to plan for! We are seeing lots of new faces. We feel it is not going to slow down any time soon. Your donations are crucial for us to keep up with demand. Thank you for your monthly monetary donations, food donations and your volunteer hours. If you would prefer to work behind the scenes in the pantry, please contact Sonja Schreffler   schreffs@proton.me

SVdP Monthly Meeting: We will have our monthly SVdP Meeting on Sunday August 10th after 9:30 am Mass. Deacon Dan Deluca will lead us in spiritual direction. Everyone is welcome, even if you just want to find out about SVdP. Rolls and coffee will be provided. Please let us know if you can join Kevin and I. neighbors.svdp.stp@gmail.com or 402-669-8014.  

Pantry Needs: Toilet paper, canned fruit and cereal. Items may be placed in the brown bins at the entrances of the church or in O'Brien Hall. Our pantry numbers keep increasing because many people in the city are dealing with food insecurity. Thank you for your generosity. Any perishable items may be donated at the Parish Hall (723 S. 27th St.) on Saturdays between 1:00 - 3:00 pm. We are looking for gardeners to increase their planting and help our pantry out this year with fresh produce. Eggs and fresh produce can be dropped off on Saturdays at 1:00 pm at our Parish Hall. Excluding Holiday weekends.

Items can be left in the brown bins by the entrances of the church. Thank you for your generosity.

Omaha Bridges: We do not have a meal lined up for this Thursday (July 31) for our Omaha Bridges "Getting Ahead in a Just Getting by World" class. If you can help with this, please sign up right away! We also have plenty of other available slots. Will you say YES to feeding the hungry? The meal is for 12 people. Needs to be delivered between 4:30 - 5:00 pm at the St. Peter Parish Hall (723 S. 27th St.) on Tuesday or Thursday evenings.
