Clergy Coalition Shelter in Hoboken
Once a month, on the second Sunday, we as a church are committed to feeding the hungry at the Clergy Coalition Shelter in Hoboken.  There is a need for at least 12 casseroles, each feeding 8 people.  Nothing exotic or fancy, just plain and simple.  If you can't fix anything, then just pick up fixings for a salad.

3-4 people are needed to help in delivering and serving the food.  You leave St. Paul's at 5:30 pm and finish about 8:30 pm.  As you leave, guests thank you - it is instant gratification!  Sign-up is posted in the Breezeway.

Center for Food Action
Week by week parishioners can be seen placing food into baskets before the altar in church on Sunday mornings.  The food is taken to the Center for Food Action (CFA) located at Westside Presbyterian Church here in Englewood. There the food is processed and distributed to hungry people.  St. Paul's regularly refers individuals to the CFA when they come to the church seeking emergency assistance.  St. Paul's also makes financial contributions toward the work of the CFA.

CROP
Another important service venture is St. Paul's involvement in CROP.  This is a ten-kilometer walk through all of four wards of Englewood to fight hunger by obtaining pledges for each kilometer walked by participants.  This walk helps world hunger, but 25% is kept locally for the Center for Food Action (CFA) and St. Cecilia's Shelter program.  Many of our members not only walk, but sponsor others.  The Hunger Walk occurs in May each year.  Just another way to strive for justice and peace among all people.
