Matthew 25:35  For when I was hungry you gave me to eat....
 
The Ministry for the Homeless and Needy encourages us all to take part in reaching our brothers and sisters who find themselves outside the margins of society.  We are called  not only to provide basic needs of survival, but to uplift human dignity by caring for those in need.
Every week volunteers assemble at the parish kitchen  to prepare 150  brown bag lunches for distribution to five areas in  Palm Beach .  The lunch consists of  two sandwiches ( made and delivered to the parish by parishioners), a hardboiled egg, a container of homemade soup, dessert and fruit.  Toiletries, clothing of all types, sneakers and non-perishable foods are also dispensed.  Delivery is made  by the parish van.  In addition to friendship and socialization, we offer spiritual literature, prayer and small Bibles to feed the soul.

Thanksgiving meals are also delivered as well as Christmas gifts, which  include an article of warm clothing, small blanket and  much needed travel size toiletries. 
 
 The ministry welcomes volunteers and financial donations as well as any of the above mentioned items.  Those interested in participating are asked to call the parish office during regular business hours: Monday-Friday, 9AM to 4PM

"Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me"
