This Tuesday, Ricky Beckles and Shania Hamilton-John from our FEED NJ Food Distribution Centers program were at the Puerto Rican Community Center for Fun Day. They reached more than 200 families and were able to share information about the new mobile pantry service that will begin later this month in Trenton.

Working with a network of community partners, Catholic Charities’ FEED NJ program will deliver fresh food to vulnerable populations in areas of Mercer County without easy access to fresh fruits, vegetables and meats. Stay tuned for more details!

What would we do without our wonderful volunteers? We never want to find out!

The Powerful Pi Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., volunteered to tackle sorting and organizing our storage space at Providence House Domestic Violence Services in Burlington County. Before and after pictures just don’t do justice to the transformation that these awesome volunteers made happen!

THANK YOU Pi Mu Omega, not just for this Day of Caring, but also for the years of generosity, support, and care you have shown to Providence House and the survivors we serve!
