Join Us in Giving Back This Season!
-
During the Thanksgiving season, we assemble and distribute baskets of food containing all the "fixins" for a Thanksgiving meal to benefit the hungry and needy in Madison, St. Agnes Parish in Paterson, and others via agencies in both Paterson and Newark. Baskets are prepared by parishioners the week before Thanksgiving with the final effort to assemble donated items in the baskets, sorting and delivery of baskets occurring the Monday prior to Thanksgiving.
You can help by pledging a basket, assisting in the gym on the Monday prior to Thanksgiving, the delivery of the baskets Monday evening, or making a financial contribution toward the cause.WAYS TO HELP...
Planning for our annual Thanksgiving Outreach Program is underway. Volunteers are vital to the success of this program. If you’ve volunteered in past years, you know the uplifting feeling of being a part of a fun group of volunteers dedicated to helping those less fortunate.
Below are the volunteer opportunities:- Sunday, November 24 from 12 p.m. until @2:30 p.m. to begin the set-up process in the school gym.
- Monday, November 25 from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to unload the baskets/boxes of donations from parishioners’ vehicles. This work is primarily outside. Say an extra prayer for good weather!
- Monday, November 25 starting at 9:30 a.m. until completion to process and organize the baskets/boxes of donations. You can volunteer for any portion of the day that fits your schedule.
- Monday, November 25 starting at 4:30 p.m. until completion to deliver the baskets to recipients living in Madison.
If you would like to volunteer, please click here to sign up.
If you would like to help provide a Thanksgiving dinner for a family, you may do so in one of the following ways:- Take a tag from one of the cornucopias around the altar. The different color tags signify the size of the family. Detailed instructions for putting together the basket and when to deliver it will be in a future bulletin and can also be found on our website.
- Make a financial contribution either on the SVM website by clicking Here or by mailing your check made payable to St. Vincent Martyr to the Thanksgiving Outreach Coordinator, SVM, 26 Green Village Rd., Madison, NJ 07940.
- Purchase a gift card on our website by clicking HERE or directly from either Shop-Rite or Stop & Shop. The amount of the card is at your discretion. Gift cards may be mailed to the Thanksgiving Outreach Coordinator, SVM, 26 Green Village Rd., Madison, NJ 07940 or dropped into the Thanksgiving gift card baskets at the front and rear doors of the church when you attend Mass.
