Donation to be distributed to families impacted by job loss

Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen received a second donation from the St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Matthew the Apostle Parish, Edison, NJ.  A member of their conference, Mary McKenzie Hayes delivered the food and gift cards to the Edison Family Service Office, but was quick to take little credit for her act of kindness, “We’re blessed to have a wonderful team St. Vincent de Paul, St Matthew Chapter. Alice Donahoe takes care of our pantry and packed all the food; our president Mike Rohal is a great leader and keeps us all connected. I had the easy job of pick up and drop off. We're very grateful for the wonderful team at Catholic Charities.” 

 
The donation will be distributed to local families impacted by job loss during the COVID crisis. Said Service Area Director Jessica Polizzotto, “It is donations like these that help Catholic Charities serve the most vulnerable.  Many of the families we serve were already experiencing financial challenges prior to the pandemic so the loss of income during this time has resulted in us seeing a spike in food insecurity.”
