Outreach
In celebration of St. Martin’s Day, outreach will be collecting WARM WINTER COATS AND JACKETS on November 15th. Gently used children’s winter coats and jackets will be donated to FISH. The adult jackets and coats will be donated to a senior shelter in Trenton. In addition to the coats, the seniors could use warm winter clothing, including slacks, sweaters, flannel shirts, night clothes, etc. We are not looking for fancy clothes, dresses, suits, etc. We are asking that the children’s coats and jackets be put in separate bags. The adult clothes and coats can be put in the same bags. We are asking this so we will be able to place the appropriate bags in two cars for delivery. We will be in the parking lot of St. Martin’s between noon and 2:00 p.m.
We would also like to thank all who donated socks for the homeless in Somerville. The Reformed Church was very appreciative of the quantity of socks donated. Plus, we received enough children’s socks that we will be making a donation to FISH.
Also, thank you for the donation of casseroles for SHIP. Last Wednesday night St. Martin’s volunteers served over 30 hot meals to the needy in Manville. The demand was so great that we ran out of hot food. Please keep SHIP in mind when you are making decisions about monetary donations.
