There is a bin outside the church for donations of new sweatshirts for teens. Donations should not be wrapped.
During this season, teens can be overlooked. For many years, this was a project spearheaded by our youth groups. This has been advertised to the whole community, which is why there is an outside bin. Please place your donations in the bin, and thank you for your generosity!
The Angel Tree is in the Narthex, on the board to the left as you enter.
The gifts must be returned by December 14.
Please sign up for your gift on the posted sheets. Feel free to include paper and tape so parents can wrap gifts.
Please get in touch with Kathy Shanklin by email with any questions. Thank you for your generosity!
Starting in November there will be a coat/gently-used clothes drive in honor of St. Martin of Tours.
Coats/jackets/clothes can be put in the coat room in the Narthex.
The Food Bank has indicated they especially need jelly and reusable bags.
Once again, the Outreach Committee is volunteering at the food bank.
The dates for this year are August 2nd and August 16th.
A sign-up sheet for the August dates will be up in the Narthex. The hours for volunteering are from 9:30 am to approximately noon.
If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Shanklin.
A collection bin for Laundry Love has been placed in the Narthex. We are collecting rolls of quarters, detergent pods, dryer sheets, and small plastic ziplock bags. This collection will be ongoing.
During June, we will collect menstrual hygiene products and new or gently used bras for the organization “I Support Girls.” It provides these products to local women, including trans and non-binary ones.
The Food Bank is in great need of food items, paper goods, and toiletries for our neighbors in Somerset County. We especially want to focus on personal items and cleaning products, such as toothpaste, feminine products, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. Cash and checks are also greatly appreciated. There’s always a container on the stairs leading up to the choir loft.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Kathy Shanklin.
