HELPING OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY
Outreach
Do you want to help bring donations to charitable organizations, help prepare meals and serve dinner to the homeless or safeguard homeless clients spending the night in a warm, safe place?
Ozanam Men’s Shelter
St Barnabas partners with Christ Church, New Brunswick, to staff its Men’s Homeless Shelter for two weeks each winter. Click here for further details for volunteers. We donate “goodie bags” and provide meals usually in a crock pot so that it’s easy to re-heat.
If you can help in any way, please let a Vestry Member know!
St. Barnabas has participated in this ministry since its inception in 2000.
We last served in Feb 2023.
Be on the lookout for dates next winter.
SB Food Bank
Members of St. Barnabas can donate to the South Brunswick Food Pantry simply by bringing items to church on Sunday.
Non-perishable food can be put in the marked baskets under the welcome table just inside the main entrance. Can you help transport the food donations to the food pantry during the week? (see Vestry Member)
Adopt A Family
Each year we adopt one or more families and supply Christmas gifts to them. Do you know of a family in need? (see our Priest-In-Charge)
Mitten Tree
Each year during Advent, the mittens, scarfs, and gloves are harvested from our “mitten tree” and donated to those in need.
Ministry of Racial Diversity
St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, South Brunswick, N.J.
The Ministry of Racial Diversity at St. Barnabas Church seeks to expunge racism from the lives of people within our church and community and to promote diversity, and equality utilizing Christian faith, personal witness, dialogue and education.
