ST. BRIGID’S FOOD PANTRY
Thank you to Jim Hicks and Judy Acer for their volunteer efforts at St. Brigid’s!
Donations of the following items are always being accepted: cereals (hot, cold, pancake mix, etc.), canned fruits and vegetables, jelly, toiletries, toilet tissue, paper towels, diapers, baby formula, condiments,and pet food. Please remember to bring in personal hygiene items for St. Brigid’s clients as well (shampoo, soap, etc.). These will be collected here on the first Sunday of each month (there’s a basket marked “St. Brigid’s” in the back of the sanctuary). St. Brigid’s is sorely in need of volunteers to help with food prep, cooking, cleaning and the set up of the food bags that their clients take home. Volunteer hours are Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 11-4. Please see Jim Hicks or Dave Harrison for more information.

PROJECT BACKPACK!!
Dave Harrison is once again heading up the effort to collect backpacks and other school supplies for needy children in the Freehold area. Items needed include backpacks, pens, pencils, folders, rulers, notebooks, markers and crayons. Supplies will be collected at the back of the sanctuary from now until July 27. Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted. Please see Dave for more details, or call 732-535-6726.
