We will collect gently used/new children’s books from 21 April to 5 May. The books will go to the food bank to give to clients and their families.

Once again, we’re collecting new/gently used items for the Household Items Giveaway at the beginning of May. Items are due to St. Martin’s by Monday, 29 April.

The Food Bank is in great need of food items, paper goods, and toiletries for our neighbors in Somerset County. Cash and checks are also greatly appreciated. There’s always a container on the stairs leading up to the choir loft.

Any questions, please contact Kathy Shanklin.
