2024 Market Awards Checks to Charities
THE 2024 MARKET RAISES $68,000 for BRIGHTSIDE AND CCAC!
​
The Market joyfully presented checks for $34,000 both to BRIGHTSIDE Child and Family Advocacy and the Coastal Children’s Advocacy Center at a recent church service. These two Savannah non-profits work together to improve life outcomes for children and youth in the foster care system who have been traumatized by emotional and physical neglect and abuse.
​​
BRIGHTSIDE Executive Director, Kate Blair said recently, “We are so grateful to the Market of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, the parishioners, sponsors, and shoppers for an amazing event! We are delighted that its success will benefit BRIGHTSIDE’S work with older teens who are aging out of the foster care system to help them succeed in adulthood.” CCAC Executive Director, Rose Grant-Robinson stated: “Because of the kindness and compassion of St. Peter’s Market and the Landings community, CCAC will begin a new counseling program, HEART, for youth ages 12-17 who have been sexually abused and are at risk for many poor outcomes.
​​
For the past 25 years, St. Peter’s has worked with organizations serving Savannah’s at-risk children and youth. This year we extend a sincere thank you to the parishioners of St. Peter’s for their generous financial and volunteer contributions, the 800 new and loyal shoppers; the publications that help spread the word and the Corporate Sponsors identified below for helping us underwrite the important work of BRIGHTSIDE and CCAC. Your generosity makes this possible.

History of The Market
Since the founding of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in 1995, outreach has been central to the church’s mission. In 1996, the Rector urged the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) “to serve the wider community beyond our doors and build fellowship with the congregation.” The ECW voted that fundraising should support charities benefitting at risk children in Savannah.
