God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Hebrews 6:10

Hands and Hearts Ending Homelessness
Hands and Hearts homeless men's shelter is currently housed in the fall/winter months in the Community Service Building of Park Seventh Day Adventist Church located at 31525 John Deere Drive in Salisbury, Maryland. The shelter opens in mid-November and closes the end of March.
We have volunteer opportunities at HHEH for St Peter’s Week January 11 – 17 2026.
St Peter’s has a long history of volunteering and donating to the shelter. Your help is appreciated and needed for the following:
- Sign-in desk from 4:45 pm to 8:00 pm (2 people per shift)
- Sign-in desk from 7:45 pm to 11:00 pm (2 people per shift)
- Hot meals, salads and dessert(s) for 35-40 people are to be delivered to the shelter by 5:30 pm.
If you sign up to prepare a meal, please know the kitchen at St Peter’s is available for meal prep. Contact Lydia Filgueras, at 443-735-5176 and she’ll make the arrangements. She is also available to help you plan, shop, prepare and transport the meal if you need help in those areas. It can be fun to partner with a friend or two in order to share the costs and effort of preparing a meal.
The guys aren’t picky. They like casseroles, pasta, soups, salads, burgers and chicken.
If you’d like to help but aren’t available to volunteer, we welcome your donations.
Gift cards to Walmart, Sam’s Club, Acme, or other grocery stores can be given to Cathy Parsons, the parish secretary.
Checks can be made out to St Peter’s with HHEH or Outreach Committee in the memo line.
Sign up sheets will be located in the parlor or you can contact Lydia Filgueras at 443-735-5176.
Other things you can do to help beyond St Peter’s Week:
- Follow HHEH on Facebook
- Sponsor a week’s worth of coffee or breakfasts
- Purchase cold weather gear, underwear or socks
- Sign up to volunteer at the desk or in the kitchen using the links on the Hands and Hearts Ending Homelessness website. (HandsAndHeartsShelter.org)
- Provide lunch or dinner outside of St Peter’s Week. You can do that directly from the HHEH website or call Lydia, at 443-735-5176 and she can help you plan, prepare and deliver a meal.
Partnership with Wi-Middle School
St. Peter’s has partnered with the school down the street, Wicomico Middle School, to help those students in need and to show appreciation to the teachers and staff who serve the children of our community. Before the school season begins, St. Peter’s hosts Christmas in August to help provide clothing and supplies for those students in need. In December, St Peter’s provides gift cards to enable teachers and staff to shop for items to give needy families some presents and resources for Christmas.

St. Peter’s Caring Team
As the needs arise
This is a “virtual team” of parishioners who have put their email addresses on a list as part of the Caring Team and are notified when a fellow parishioner is in need of assistance. Caring Team members can then volunteer to help by responding to that email. To join the Caring Team, parishioners may send an email asking to be put on the Caring Team list to Pastor Greg Harbaugh.

There is a need for volunteers for the following ministries: Altar Guild, Eucharistic Minister, Ushers, Hymn Boards setter, bulletin folders. Contact the Parish Office if you are able and willing to help.
