SHIP Food Donations
The Samaritan Homeless Interim Program (SHIP) provides food for
the homeless and the hungry in the Somerset County area. St. Marys
Church has been active in this program for many years. We are asked
to prepare and freeze nutritious meals in aluminum trays. The trays
and lids, together with suggested recipes, are available in the
blue plastic containers in the narthex of the church. If you prefer
to prepare your own recipe, feel free to do so. Please label the
prepared meals with the type of food provided and the date that it
is frozen. Place the frozen meal in the blue plastic containers on
the weekend of the second Saturday of each month. If you have any
questions, contact Bob Palasits at 908-757-5728 or
[email protected]. Our next food collection is June 4th &

blesses all the gifts we offer and makes them wondrous.

Sharing the Gospel Jesus told his friends to give a whole crowd
of people something to eat. All they had was a little fish and
bread. How could they possibly feed all those people with so little
food? God gave them what they needed to help other people. When you
want to help other people, trust God to give you what you need.
