St. Joseph's Food Pantry wishes to thank Peter Kelly of Murphy's
Restaurant and Pub, 300 Derby St., Salem, for the "Celebrity

Peter is a wonderful, community-minded gentleman who has been
generous to us and also allowed this event. It was a lot of fun.
Everyone had a wonderful time. We had no problems or issues.
The event raised money that we need to continue our work at our
very busy pantry.
