Deacon Barbi, Manager of the Trinity Food Ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church, shared the following message of thanks with the St. Peter's Community:

April 26, 2023

Dear People of St. Peter's, 

To say thank you seems inadequate, yet it is what I offer. Regardless of whether it is the monthly donations, the new shoes, the dollar amounts, what you give to the People of Trinity Food Ministry is priceless. 

With the hygiene items, you offer dignity. No one should have to be without toilet paper, soap or dental care. You make sure families are offered dignity. 

With the new shoes, you offer happiness and comfort to many people who get new shoes maybe once per year. One lady told me, “My feet are so happy! They want to dance!”

With the dollars, you make sure that TFM is able to afford the produce we purchase each week.

It is my honor to be in this mutual ministry of offering dignity, respect, and love.

Thank you.

Love always; always Love.

Deacon Barbi
