Serving low income families in Trenton by collecting and distributing diapers.

The Maker's Place

In the winter months, we open our church to the Sanctuary Program, which provides breakfast, lunch, and a warm place for members of the community. All year long, we collect offerings of food to donate to Open Door, the Freehold food pantry. Other projects include collecting back-to-school outfits for families in need and youth group projects ranging from baby welcome kits to boxes of tissue for local classrooms. The congregation supports organizations such as Camden Neighborhood Center, Maker's Place Trenton, and Habitat for Humanity of Western Monmouth, the Freehold Clergy Association's Hospitality Program for local homeless men, and the Sanctuary Breakfast program.

Local Missions

The church collects designation mission offerings every month and participates in collections such as "Flood Buckets" (clean-up supplies) for UMCOR, school supplies and Christmas Gifts for Amistad children, and food items for Open Door Food Pantry.
