Outreach

We believe that God is the source of all grace, goodness, and abundance in our lives. Giving to those in need is our way of giving back to God in gratitude. St. Francis is committed to caring and sharing with those in need, especially with our neighbors in the Dunellen area. We organize events such as blood drives; give monetary support; lend helping hands; and collect & distribute needed material goods such as food and diapers.

·      Nonperishable food items to the Dunellen Library and to St. Paul's Lutheran Church Food Pantry, Edison
