St. Martin’s will collect new scarves, hats, socks, and underwear until November 31st. Only new items, please.
These items are for Valley Brook Village, housing for veterans. There are about 115 residents, mostly men, with about 8 women.
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.
St. Martin’s will collect styrofoam until the end of September, perhaps longer. It will go to a business in Somerville which makes it into molding for cruise ships.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Kathy Shanklin.
St. Martin’s will collect used sneakers from August 5th until September 16th.
The sneakers will be given to the Women’s Literary Club of Bound Brook, which will donate them to GotSneakers for recycling. The club receives a small amount of money to purchase ShopRite gift cards for needy families in Somerset County.
All sizes are fine. Please email Kathy Shanklin with any questions.
When: Monday, August 5th, 5-9pm
Where: Pluckemin Presbyterian Church
St. Martin’s will once again be participating in helping a family from HOME at the Pluckemin church on Monday, August 5th. We need someone to provide dinner and then someone to provide fellowship to the family from 5-9 pm. If interested, or you have any questions, contact Anne Marie.
