Thank you from the Beyond Cornerstone Service Ministry

During the summer we continue to meet the needs of the Sisters at the St. Augustine's soup kitchen.

Deni thanks everyone for responding to her request for water donations. It was our biggest donation of water yet. It was amazing!!! Please keep the water coming throughout this hot weather. We will definitely need to deliver water every one to two weeks.

Tiffany coordinated a Day of Summer Camp, held on July 15th, for approximately 40 children ages 6 to 14 at St Augustine’s Church. Eight volunteers, consisting of friends and parishioners from St Thomas the Apostle Church, lead an afternoon filled with a visit from Mike’s Ice Cream Truck, Arts & Crafts (Eucharist project & Bracelet Making), dinner, and a school supplies backpack give away donated by Covanta Essex. The children also enjoyed singing with the Sisters and play time outside. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, talent, or treasure to making this day an overwhelming success.

Joanne Hand continues to deliver supplies requested by the nuns as well as donated food containers and women's summer clothes. Joanne also spends time at the kitchen helping to serve meals.

In June, Joseph and Diana delivered food for 150 hearty meals. Joyce Cupoli will coordinate the meal delivery for August 28th.

As we express our sincere thank you for all your help, we also ask for your continued support in meeting the needs of those depending on the service of the soup kitchen.
