October 20, 2020. While Sunday morning’s 33 degree temperature was certainly a shock to the system, imagine if you’re homeless, recently unemployed, or simply without the resources to gear up and buy a warm coat. In partnership with Face to Face Germantown, SUPPER at St. Martin’s is launching its Share the Warmth campaign.

Below, see the video made by the Office of Communication for The Episcopal Church about our SUPPER program. It features a introduction by the Bishop of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, Daniel Gutierrez, and includes each of our four SUPPER locations.
Founded by parishioner Debra Roberts at St. Martin’s in 2012, SUPPER is a free, home-cooked meal for the whole community. All are invited to a meal that brings neighbors together and allows families to take a break and eat a healthy meal. We have room at the table for everyone, no matter what. In the spring of 2016, we expanded our SUPPER offerings to serve not only Chestnut Hill, but also the Mt. Airy and Germantown communities, followed by Roxborough in fall of 2017. SUPPER is now found at four Episcopal churches. Across our five meals every month, the SUPPER program now provides nutritious meals and a welcoming community to 600+ guests/month.
Debra Roberts is the founder of the SUPPER program at St. Martin's, and she has helped grow it into a ministry at three additional Episcopal Churches in the Northwest Philadelphia region. Debra is also a Stephen Minister, a leader in the Columbarium care group, and serves on the property committee. Lacy Powell (she/her) is a Midwest girl living in a Philly world. She grew up in the rural Missouri Ozarks & graduated from Drury University with a degree in Psychology & Education in 2008. She has been married to her husband Daniel for 7 years and they share one son together, Jaxon. Lacy is an is an Army spouse, a passionate communicator, an energetic doer, and an open ear. She grew up in an area where food insecurity and poverty were mainstays for a lot of people. Unable to do much as a child, SUPPER brings her the welcome opportunity to get her hands dirty & work towards a solution as an adult. She’s passionate about meeting the physical, spiritual, and communal needs of our friends and neighbors as we grow and invest in the SUPPER community. When not working, you can find Lacy doing urban beekeeping, making stained glass windows, or cooking up a storm.Debra Roberts
