The Prep Delivers 300 Pounds of Food to St. Peter's

Since the Archdiocese closed the Gesu Parish in 1993, the Prep community has had to look to other parishes for connections with our North Philadelphia community.  In keeping with this tradition, the Hurtado Food pantry delivered 300 pounds of food to a pantry at St. Peter's at 5th and Girard.

This delivery has expanded our the reach of our "Operation February Snowfall," during which we collected 925.5 pounds of food and given 800.6 pounds of food away to various organizations across Philadelphia.

Our deliveries to date can be traced on this interactive map.

These deliveries were made by Seniors Marcin Walski and Griffin DiStefano (pictured below), and were received by St. Peter the Apostle School Principal Sr. Rosalia Federici, SSND.

Marcin and DiStefano pose with some of the baskets while in transit to make these donations.
