Once again we have many volunteer opportunities and are grateful for any support that you would like to offer. To find out more please attend our Volunteer Formation Day on Saturday, November 22nd from 1:00-4:00pm in Quaremba Hall, located behind St. Michael Church in Atlantic City.

Every year, many people ask what they can bring, or what their parish, youth group, school, etc., can collect for the shelter. Below is a list of items that we are in need of to get the shelter up and running. If you’re interested in helping us in this way, please feel free to bring things to the Volunteer Formation Day on November 22nd.
Thank you for your support and please be assured of our prayers for you and your intentions. We are looking forward to seeing you on November 22nd!
