2022 FACT'S HOLIDAY GIFT BAGS

–Continuing our tradition of the HOLIDAY GIFT BAG distribution at Epiphany Episcopal church in Orange, where we provide lunches every 3rd Sat of the month. This year, a circle of FACT friends knitted scarves to be included in 120 bags along with socks, gloves, hats, toiletries, and sweets.

FACT is appreciative of the generosity of time, effort and donations of many, who make our service possible through out the year.

Ukrainian rescue help.

FACT made donations of first aid supplies (ibuphrophen, Neosporin, bandages, baby wipes, latex gloves) for the Ukrainian humanitarian relief effort. Special thanks go out to Mary McGee, Karyn Senatore, Mo Stewart, and Emma Cortese for contributing to items that FACT supplied. Packages were dropped off at Ukrainian Orthodox churches in Whippany and Clifton. Thanks too, Michael Evangelista, for helping with the delivery.

Hi all. Thanks to the folks who have reached out to see if we are serving on Thanksgiving. FACT is not. Covid still manages to keep us out of the kitchen and allows us to only hand out lunch bags. That's why you hardly hear from Loretta regarding volunteering. We've been able to split the job up among the board members because it's so easy. We also realize that this is not the right way to keep our faithful volunteers informed and interested and we apologize and if this damn virus ever goes away, we'll do better. We are putting holiday bags together for the patrons with socks, toiletries, scarves, etc. as we do each year. FACT has high hopes of getting back in the game with more enthusiasm in 2022. please stay tuned and thank you all!

I want to thank all of you who were incredibly generous and sent me (for FACT) so many wonderful pieces of jewelry. My mind was blown by your generosity. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, fine pieces and fun pieces. Originally the church was going to have the sale but that fell through so we set up a table at a local outdoor concert for the few Thursdays that were not rained out. We are happily sending a check for $220 to Jubilee Center Community Outreach Inc. who work hand and hand within Epiphany Christ Church in Orange. I'm very proud to have worked with them over the last several years as this volunteer group works incredibly hard for their community. Any pieces we have left over will be passed on to those that reap JCCOI'S benefits. We at FACT are so grateful for your generosity. Thank you all so much. 🤗 🙏😍

Hello my local girl friends! I'm collecting earrings or any jewelry that you no longer want, for me to sell at a church flea market. It's the same church where we serve lunches once a month, a rather poor Episcopal church in Orange that does an amazing job of serving the indigent people in the community. Several days a week they give out lunches and bags of groceries. I'm going to buy a table to sell jewelry and toys (some new, some used). And the church will get the profits. The proceeds will be split between the church and the food service branch of the church. So, text me at 973.477.8238 if you're in a purging mood and I'll come to you. It's set for the Saturday August 21. Thanks in advance and if you are around on August 21, come shop at Epiphany Christ Church at 105 Main St, Orange and buy someone else's earrings!

Good morning all.

I'd like to bring everyone up to date with what's going on with FACT. It's been a long time getting back to normal and hopefully we will be back in the kitchen at Epiphany Christ Church in Orange by September.

We've not stopped feeding people over the last year and a half, but instead of cooking at the church, we and many of you have helped us by preparing lunches in your respective homes. We served hundreds of lunches at a 300 bed shelter in Newark through 2020 and have continued to serve at Epiphany through out this year. Your support has been and continues to be invaluable to us.

Stay tuned! Please don't give up on us.

And, if you'd like to be on our email list for upcoming volunteer opportunities, please email me at [email protected]. Keep in mind that your kids will be needing community service hours! 🌺

Yesterday, Saturday May 1st, with the help of Emma Cortese, Mo Stewart, Karen Kadus, Peggy O, and Naresh Lalla, we served many families and individuals at Epiphany Christ Church. Thanks to all of you for your help in making it possible. In addition to those who made soup and sandwiches, I thank jason M. for the donated desserts, of which I tested a few to make sure they were perfect (and they were).

My pals Peggy and Bruce on Saturday. It was a pretty day but mighty cold in the shade. Lots of little kids there yesterday because a young woman from the church (sorry, I'm terrible with names) put together lots of easter baskets and snacks for the little ones. It was rather a joyful day. Thanks to Loretta and Mike for putting it all together and all the volunteers who made sandwiches for the lunch bags.
