We have been in touch with our dear friend, Father Rich Vila, who is the Associate Pastor at St. Benedict's in Holmdel, NJ. His parish and community need our help!

We will be heading to New Jersey with a truckload of supplies in the very near future. Here's how you can help.

1. Prayer—please pray especially for the families with infants or elderly members
2. Monetary donations (preferred)—drop off your monetary donations in the parish office—check payable to St. Andrew Apostle (memo: hurricane relief)—and we will shop for you!
3. Send a check directly to St. Benedict Catholic Church (check payable to St. Benedict) address: 165 Bethany Road, Holmdel, NJ 07733
4. Purchase an item from this "requested list" and drop it off in the narthex:
   • HEAVY DUTY TRASH BAGS, HEAVY DUTY WORK GLOVES
   • BLANKETS, BATTERIES
   • SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR, SWEAT SHIRTS AND SWEAT PANTS
   • NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS, PROTEIN BARS AND PROTEIN DRINKS
   • TOILETRIES, HAND-SANITIZER, FACIAL WIPES
   • BABY FOOD, CANNED BABY FORMULA, DIAPERS, WIPES
   • CLOROX WIPES, PAPER TOWELS, ALUMINUM FOIL.

Deadline for drop-offs: Thursday, November 8. Since we have so many different collections going on in the Narthex, and very limited storage space, our preference at this time would be for Monetary Donations (ear-marked for hurricane relief). Thank you for your generosity!
