Volunteer Opportunities


St. John’s Soup Kitchen

Food Pantry Volunteers

IHM has been assigned a monthly opportunity to serve the homeless at St. John's Soup Kitchen in Newark. Our assigned slot is the first Tuesday of every month for the next 12 months beginning October 1st, 2024.

We will need 4 volunteers for each date. We will arrange to leave from the Nazareth Center at 9:30 AM and return 1:00 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to help those in need. These events involve plating and serving lunches to over 250 men. Please let us know if you are available to help by checking-in below or call our office at 908-889-2100 if you need help.
Thank you!

Thank you for taking an interest in helping our Food Pantry!

The best way you can help is by gathering food items from your home, friends, neighbors or co-workers and bringing the food to our donation crate behind the church. Check out our website for a listing of acceptable food items and details about the pantry.

We're open on Wednesdays from 10-11:45AM. If that interferes with school, we are open every second Sunday of the month. Come early around 9:30AM so we can prepare the food.

Thank you!

interestED In Video Production?

We need volunteers to help livestream daily Mass at 8:30 AM. Typically Mass lasts between 25-35 minutes. No technical background required. We will teach you everything we know. Documents with details on the steps and hands-on training will be provided. Role requires operating the camera while attending Mass. There is no long term commitment. If you cannot come to the same Mass each week we can still benefit from your assistance. This will be great experience for up and coming film students or seniors wishing to expand their technical knowledge. Please contact Rick if you’d like to help.
