Curbing Hunger Donations

The pandemic and summer months = low food supplies.

Please give generously, if you are able. Here are two ways you can continue to support the Food Bank of Somerset County:

Online Donations: You can continue to support by online contributions. To purchase fresh fruits and vegetables online, visit www.CurbingHunger2021.org. Donations are delivered directly to the Food Bank Network of Somerset County.

Monetary Donations: Checks can be made payable to Curbing Hunger, Inc. and mailed to 140 South Finley Ave., Basking Ridge, NJ 07920.

And, of course, you can always bring your food donations to the office or link.

Donations to Altar Guild

Fresh flowers are always a welcome site on Sunday mornings. For many years we have kept the price of one vase at $30 and two at $60. Given the rising costs of, well everything, we will be increasing the flower fee - $35 for one, $70 for both. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Please contact the office if you would like to dedicate altar flowers in memory or celebration of a loved one.

Saturdays in Somerville

Despite the pandemic, we will once again need volunteers to distribute food in Somerville every Saturday in September. If you are willing to participate, please email Jody Hough (jodyhough@yahoo.com) and let her know which Saturday(s) you are available. ( 9/11, 9/18 & 9/25)

Ideally we need at least 6 volunteers each Saturday to distribute food to the clients. High school teens are also welcome to volunteer, with adult chaperone (a great way to earn community service hours). Masks should be worn. Bring a water bottle and sun protection in case we will be serving outdoors.

Thank you!
