Once a year, The Catholic Community of Hopewell Valley sponsors a meal for those in need at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Trenton. The concept is that of a sit-down meal where we visit with and serve the guests the same as we would guests in our own homes.
Recently, more than 250 individuals from our parish participated in this ministry in one or more ways – providing, preparing, or serving food for more than 600 hot meals and 500 bag lunches, visiting with guests, cleaning up, or coordinating the overall effort.
The date for the next joint parish Loaves and Fishes meal is March 24, 2018, with preparations set to begin about a month before that date. In addition to the individual donations of food and toiletry kits and volunteering on the day of the event, we also have a core committee of individuals to help organize and manage the entire process. It is one of the easiest ways to turn just a few hours of your time into a meaningful contribution to the lives of 500 people.
