PINS COMMITTEE CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS

On December 17^th the Dept. of Child and Family Services will hold a Christmas party for foster children and their families.  At the party they have a "free” shopping store for the kids to get items for their families. St. Luke’s has donated selected items from our Christmas Tea and Grandma’s Attic. 

Sunday December 18^th is the final collection date for mittens and hats for school children which will then be delivered between schools in Chester, Saxtons' River and Grafton.

PINS (Partners in Service) is faith communities and Human Service Agencies collaborating to help local children and families in need.  The beauty of PINS lies in its ability to convey a message of love, empathy and caring to vulnerable children who are experiencing feelings of loss, fear, isolation and grief.  A child's realization that someone in their community cares for them makes an enormous difference to individual well-being.
