Free & Fit Summer Camp - Thursday 11th July 2019 - by Spike Mulligan Lunchtime Ministries
Further to our recent Camp in July we have been serving and building relationships with various ministries. As part of the summer camp this year we visited Hoboken and served by helping the Lutheran Church and their lunch time Ministry for the homeless. Spike Mulligan hosted us and shares his thoughts and experience with us here in this short reflection.
“Volunteer work isn’t always easy. Sometimes it’s hot and long and you have to move lots of things around and clean out dark corners. But volunteer work is always important.
Here at St. Matthew Trinity Lunchtime Ministry, we rely on our volunteers for everything from making sandwiches to stocking our shelves. A few weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to have Free and Fit NYC volunteering with us. Their crew did a great job organizing our storage room and our freezer, and Jonathan joined in on the guitar lessons at the end of the day. It was great to have the crew participate in so many different aspects of our program. Lunchtime Ministry is open four mornings a week and serves breakfast, lunch, coffee, toiletries, and social service referrals to about 65 people every day we are open. Our mission is to provide our Hoboken neighbors with a warm meal, a compassionate community, and a peaceful place to spend the morning. Many of our guests come to Lunchtime Ministry not only for a delicious meal, but for peace, quiet, and welcome that they cannot find anywhere else. Our program is almost entirely run by volunteers, and thanks to groups like the crew from Free and Fit NYC, we are able to change lives every day. We value their help and are looking forward to continuing our partnership.”
