The Care & Support Ministry is a joint collaboration between Immaculate Heart of Mary Church & St. Bartholomew Parish. Please join us on Tuesday March 10th at 6:30pm at the Nazareth Center to help make nutritious soup for our local seniors. We will supply all the ingredients, we just need you!
If you can't make it that night, you can also make Soup or Stews at home! We are looking for caring people to make soup anytime throughout the month of February for our area seniors and homebound and homeless in area shelters. This can be dropped off anytime to the Nazareth Center, Mon- Fri from 9 AM - 2 PM or we can make arrangements for the evenings or weekend, please specify in your sign up response.
All donated soup should be in disposable containers. The need in our community is enormous right now and we need your help to keep up! We supplied over 600 cups of soup and hundreds of Sandwiches to the Emergency Code Blue shelter in Plainfield last week alone. THANK YOU!
