St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, State and Main Street, Brockport, is changing the day of its monthly Harvest Kitchen from the fourth to the second Sunday of each month, beginning October 14. Harvest Kitchen is open from 3 to 5 p.m. and offers soups and sandwiches free of charge to anyone who stops in.

William (Bill) and Nancy Plews, members of St. Luke’s and area residents, recently assumed leadership of the Harvest Kitchen program. “Harvest Kitchen is an opportunity for people to enjoy a meal, get to know neighbors and members of St. Luke’s, and share friendly conversation,” said Bill. “We are excited to be stepping into this role. It’s an opportunity to serve both St. Luke’s and the greater Brockport community,” said Nancy.

Heather Packer, also a member of St. Luke’s, stepped down from her role overseeing Harvest Kitchen to pursue other opportunities to serve the needs of the church family and community. “Harvest Kitchen has been a long tradition at St. Luke’s and we appreciate Heather’s leadership and efforts overseeing our Harvest Kitchen program and are grateful to her dedication and commitment as we also welcome the Plews into their new role at St. Luke’s,” said The Reverend Krista Cameron, priest at St. Luke’s.

“When I arrived at St. Luke’s five years ago we decided we needed to update our kitchen. We did most of the work ourselves with help on floor restoration, electrical upgrades, and installation of appliances. When we stepped back and saw the kitchen’s new beauty, we decided to share it with our community. We started our Harvest Kitchen three years ago and it has since grown with wonderful support from our local scout troops, and students and athletes from both The College at Brockport and Brockport High School. We feel very blessed,” said Rev. Cameron.

St. Luke’s also is host to the Brockport Ecumenical Food Shelf and Clothing Center, as well as North Porch, which provides infant layettes to new mothers.
