“I was hungry and you gave Me food. I was thirsty and you gave Me drink.” (Matt. 25:35)

Do you like to cook? Or maybe you like to drive? Even if you just want to help by putting together snack bags with the kids, you could help people in need while doing something you enjoy. You don't have to be a parishioner or even Catholic to volunteer for Caring for Friends, an organization which provides food and friendship to seniors, kids and adults in the 5-county Philadelphia region.

You can help by making meals, soups, or Snack Bags, volunteer to drive extra meals to other freezer sites, or volunteer to be a visitor.  We don’t have a great need of visitors in our parish, but we always need meals and snack bags. 

Meal-tray tins and supplies are provided in the church and the convent garage. Cooking volunteers fill the tins with meals and bring them to the freezer in the convent garage.

If you don’t want to cook but you still want to help, you can put together snack bags and drop them off in the convent garage. Volunteer drivers take the meals and snack bags to regional freezers once or twice a month.

Please see the attached documents and helpful video below for more information how to prepare the meals or snack bags. If you know of anyone who would benefit from our ministry or if you’re interested in helping, please sign up on this page to get helpful updates, or contact us!
