Alert!!! under new management and went from exceptional to trash overnight! The new management…read moredoesn't care and doesn't have a clue how to run a food pantry. They are only concerned with getting financial donations! The food I got under new management was poor quality basically someone's trash. Expired food, moldy stale bread, un marked tin cans, and repackaged raw meat with no labels. one client showed me a rodent had chewed on the corner of a food box - she said be careful to me. Oh even more disgusting is The leadership was rude and condescending to many other clients, treated a handful like they were trash! It disgusted me to witness . The former director Paul truly cared! Now it's just a nasty place! Wow they don't run things orderly anymore. It was chaos in line. The new director clueless Mikey and the other leadership team were standing around - the director was talking down to while ordering a very elderly volunteer around! Yikes - you could see the stress and anger flowing from Mikey. I believe that old guy quit that night. Hostile Hostile Hostile - So much so I couldn't stay a second day in such a hostile place. One of the volunteers, an older crass woman, was making racist remarks as some of the clients of color were exiting. It was soo sickening it hurt deeply I just left. I didn't want to be anywhere around that place. I'm in need and I left hungry. I will never go back to that location. I hear the church is suing Paul personally for $50,000.00 plus and all for their own chaos - it's clear to me who is causing problem! It is soo sickening to hear of the church's unthinkable actions against Paul!!! It is well known he has volunteered there for at least 25yrs - that action against him alone shows they only care about money.All the rest I've commented on only reinforced that thought in my mind. I bet they are drinking the food banks cash flow dry Their own little or not so little piggy bank. Any way you slice it - it smells!

Not taking a chance with crossing the threshold into a church itself. :P Another rare spot of good vibey tranquility in the city, I almost want to keep it to myself! I ventured here for the church's Summer Concert Series. I was bracing myself for folks hungry for a soul to save, but nobody came at me armed with a holy book. Everyone was very nice and approachable! Dogs are allowed on the premises with the usual courtesies: on leash and clean up after (unlike Christ Church in Old City - no dogs!). I'll definitely be back for the last concert this summer ... and perhaps once in a while to enjoy the peace this space offers. Good: - Beautiful churchyard is free and open to the public - Tranquil space is very welcoming and well maintained - The staff/members/people there are very approachable - Pet friendly (!!!) Eh: - None! Etc: - Please respect the graves and do step on them, sit on them, or use them as tables! - http://www.stpetersphila.org/blog/2015/06/summer-concert-series-at-st-peters/ - 6/24/15: Jazz and free water ice!

I am a seasoned Episcopalian who moved to Philadelphia over a year ago and started looking for a…read morechurch to join. My husband and I visited many churches in the city, mostly Episcopal but also other denominations that others had recommended. We were dismayed at how unwelcoming many were. We would attend coffee hour and stand around waiting for someone to acknowledge our existence. People just talked to their friends. Often even the priest didn't speak to us. We were delighted to discover St. Peter's. The congregation and the clergy are friendly and inclusive. Everyone is welcome. The preaching is excellent and pertinent. The music program is fantastic. The church and grounds are lovely and well maintained. It has a lot of history to it. There is something for everyone here. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you will feel welcomed at St. Peter's.

I first want to say volunteering was a beautiful thing and hearing the storing behind the program just made it even better and we will be volunteering again . Big shout outs to the employees there for their heroic actions and quick thinking , a special shout out to Dr Ala Stanford . You did a excellent job your fast actions and patience along with the TLC you provided was amazing You took a scary moment for the children ( and myself ) that was there and made it a calm moment for them for what they witness . It was a pleasure volunteering with you side by side and I hope to see you in the future.I can only post this picture because others are in the other ones and I don't have there permission to post them .
