Saturday Soup Kitchen
At 9:30 a.m. on the second Saturday
of each month, two alternating groups of volunteers
from St. Mary’s help Trinity Episcopal Church,
Asbury Park feed a hot lunch to 100+ guests. This
mission is referred to as Saturday Soup Kitchen. The
food is prepared and served in generous proportions
by the group. All leftovers are packed by the volunteers
and sent home with the clients. The volunteers then
return the building to its original clean condition,
before leaving around 2:00 p.m.
In the month of October, St. Mary’s
takes its turn hosting a Friendship Dinner at Harvey
Memorial United Methodist Church for local persons
in need of both a meal and the companionship extended
through this ecumenical activity. Members of St. Mary’s
plan, shop, decorate, cook, serve, entertain, and
cleanup for this festive dinner for around 100 guests.
These monthly dinners are held under the auspice of
St. Gregory’s Pantry.
