WHAT IS THE LITTLE LIGHT FOOD PANTRY?
The Little Light Food Pantry is named in honor of Fr. Otis Young, Jr. because his favorite song was "This Little Light is Mine." The Food Pantry strives to help those community members who may just need a few supplies to get them through the week.
WHERE IS IT AND WHEN IS IT OPEN?
The Little Light Food Pantry is located in the St. Peter Parish Ministry Center directly across from the St. Peter Rectory Parish Office and it is open on Thursdays from 1pm to 4pm.

Thanksgiving Food Drive
The Little Light Food Pantry is hosting a small food drive for thanksgiving meals. After Mass empty bags with instructions will be provided for those who would like to participate. Families are asked to return the bag to church or the rectory or ministry center filled with the specific requested items by Nov 15th. This is a great way to involve your children in a special work of mercy during this holiday season. We have a limited number of bags, so be sure you can return the items in a timely way before you take one. Thank you for your generosity to feed the hungry in our community!
