Things WE Need For Our Operation

In order to serve our families and individuals, we ALSO need some assistance. While our overhead is minimal, it's still there and the costs are borne by us. If you can help in any way, either financially or by providing product, please contact us.

For one, we need tires for our little truck - the truck has no traction on wet roads, so we just drive slow in bad weather and pray, as Fr. John says. If you or someone you know works at a tire center or Sears Automotive or Pep Boys, and can arrange for a donation from them or for a steeply discounted price on light truck tires - please contact us.

We are also looking for a larger storage/workspace, preferably one with heat and lights - a bathroom would be considered a luxury. Currently, we store stuff in my garage, Fr. John's house, Pat's house, Peaches' house PLUS a storage unit that is cold and has no lights. So we must move the goods from place to place to sort and prepare it for distribution. This is inefficient for those we serve but it's the best we've got. We also do not have a large budget for paying for this space. If you know of anyone with space to let (for cheap) or who could donate some space - please let us know.

We are also in need of cash donations and in this economy it is not something we like to ask for - but we need it to supplement what we pay for out of pocket. Our truck insurance is $500 a year. Gas is $50-75/week - we do lots of pickups and dropoffs. We need to purchase moving boxes for packing up the dropoffs. We need/use totes to store goods, we purchase basic business supplies and more. And then there are the desperately needed items we may not have when someone needs it - like a car seat or baby formula, or diapers, or food - if we had a small cash reserve we could purchase those items and be able to respond more quickly. We would be grateful for ANY donation you can make, please help us to keep fighting the good fight by sending a small donation to Holy Angels, annotate it with Reys of Hope and mail to our P. O. Box 2142, Southampton, NJ 08088. Thank you.
