Volunteers for the Senior Shopper program deliver groceries to a senior in Somerset County. “I couldn’t do it without them,” Says Mrs. S. of the students of the New Road School who have shopped for her since early this year. “This is a wonderful program and it is also my pleasure to talk to the volunteers about their lives and share a little bit of myself.” Operated by Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen for the Somerset County Office on Aging, the Senior Shopper program currently serves 84 low and moderate income elderly or disabled people who otherwise could not remain in their homes and preserve their independence. Call 908-722-1881 to volunteer.

The Harvest of Hope Dinner is the annual celebration of the Catholic Charities Solidarity Team, a volunteer program of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Metuchen that works to reduce injustice and suffering overseas and in the diocese.

The employees of American Standard, the plumbing supply manufacturer that is part of LIXIL, were honored at the Diocese of Metuchen’s Champions for Catholic Charities Dinner Oct. 16 at the Palace in Somerset Park, Somerset.
