Crisis Ministry is a great place in which to build team spirit for groups of up to 10 people! Youth groups, scouting groups, corporate teams, and service clubs have all participated in team building activities at Crisis Ministry — while helping people in need. We can also provide speakers to lead discussions for your group to raise awareness of issues relating to homelessness, hunger and poverty. For more on the projects listed below —or if you have an idea for a new one—please contact Elizabeth Ferguson by email or at 609-921-2135.
Organize a Food Drive
Did you know that The Crisis Ministry spends only $7.90 per family per month from our food budget — yet provides about $35 worth of food? Donations from food drives make a BIG difference in the quality and quantity of food we give. We provide 1,350 households with food each month, and your donations help. Please click here for a grocery list of suggested foods that you can print out and distribute to your volunteers.
Collect McCaffery's Receipts
We receive a 1% donation of the sales receipts we return to McCaffrey's. We make approximately $8,000 a year from collected receipts. Setting up a drop off box in your office, church or school, and mailing receipts to us once a month makes an easy project with a big pay off.
Assist Shoppers in our Trenton Food Store
Store Volunteers help check clients into our Trenton Food Store (open 9:00 am - noon weekdays and some Saturdays), help stock items when food is delivered, and help clients choose foods as they browse our aisles.
