August is St. Martin’s month to man the food pantry on Saturday mornings at the Reformed Church on Main Street in Somerville. A signup sheet will be posted in the narthex or you can contact Marlene to sign up for a morning. Volunteers are requested to be at the Church at 8:30 and usually, the pantry is closed and you are on your way home by 10:30.
Your help is always appreciated.
During August, the Outreach team will be collecting new underwear and socks for children. The donations will be given to FISH. They will also accept gently used or new children’s clothing. All items may be left in the narthex during the month of August.
Your generosity is always appreciated.
Two volunteers are needed for the SHIP food truck on Wednesday, July 20th, in Manville, NJ.
Please contact Marlene (mficzko@optonline.net) if you can spend an hour on the food truck that evening.
Beginning Sunday, June 19th through Sunday, July 31st we will be collecting food items for the Somerset County Food Bank.
We are also hopeful that casseroles can be delivered to SHIP during July. More to follow on that!
Finally, we recently learned that the food bank receives eggs from a local farmer but they are delivered in crates. The eggs are then transferred to old, used cartons. Sometimes the cartons are used multiple times. So Outreach is asking that you save your egg cartons and bring them to Church. We will continually take what is donated to the food bank.
May is the month St. Martin’s helps the Somerset County Food Bank distribute food in Somerville. This Saturday, May 14th, volunteers will be meeting at 8:25 at Shiloh Pentecostal Church on Davenport Street. Beginning Saturday, May 21st, the location will change to First Reformed Church at 100 W. Main Street in Somerville. Volunteers are still needed for May 28th.
There is a signup sheet on the Bulletin Board in the Narthex. You may also call Marlene at 908-507-7406 or email her at mficzko@optonline.net if you wish to volunteer. Based on our experience last summer, we believe we will need about 4 volunteers each Saturday.
