Motel Sheltering
We are very excited to announce that St Vincent Martyr will be part of the new motel sheltering program at Family Promise. Each motel room will provide emergency shelter to a family, including a full-sized kitchen for meal preparation and desks for students.

How Can I Help?
During our 2021 Host Weeks, we will provide “contactless” support to the families, including meals, groceries, essential items, and virtual programs. Our parish has always generously supported this important ministry and the need is even greater now given the devastating impact of COVID-19 on our most vulnerable populations.
For more information, contact Nancy Romain at 973-865-8346 or nerdmr@optonline.net.

You can help by making donations toward the purchase of gift cards:
- Food Store gift cards for families to shop for groceries and cook their own meals.
- Gift cards for meals ordered by the families and delivered from local restaurants using Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash
- Hotspot minutes so children can attend school virtually and parents can have access to the internet

What: FAMILY PROMISE HOST WEEK. SVM is one of 18 host congregations that provide emergency shelter, hospitality and meals for one week periods of time on a rotational basis. Volunteers help with set-up, clean-up, meals and laundering of linens at the end of the week, fellowship and overnight supervision.
Who it benefits: Individuals and families who, as a result of any number of commonplace problems (loss of job, sickness disability, etc.) find themselves without a home.
When it occurs: Three to four times a year.
Time commitment: Varies quite a bit. Can be as little as one hour to as much as a person is willing to give in the course of a week. Coordinator will be able to explain the different roles and associated time commitments.
