You may wonder if donating things like socks and underwear actually makes a difference in our program. The answer is YES! Of course, it is your financial support that funds our work, but since we provide everything to our clients free of charge, your material donations mean that we can concentrate on our programs and not have to spend time, effort, and money shopping for everyday supplies.

Getting Ready for Christmas!

Christmas is a special time at the Mission, and we need YOUR help to make this season possible. Every December, we host our Christmas Toy Shop, so the residents and alumni of our recovery program can pick out gifts to give to their children and grandchildren. Then, during our Christmas Eve Chapel service, we give all the men in our addiction recovery program a special bag of Christmas gifts.

If you would like to contribute to either of these events, you can shop our Amazon wish lists above! The gifts will be shipped directly to the Mission and then shared with our residents in Morristown and Asbury Park. (Please send a gift receipt, too, so we can say thank you!) Or, you can drop off items to 9 Market Street in Morristown, labeled for Debbie McKenna’s attention.

⭐ We also need gift cards to Dunkin ($10-15) and AMC Theatre ($15) to give out at Christmas! ⭐

Please bring Christmas Toy Shop gifts by 12/10 and resident Christmas gifts by 12/18. Please do not wrap any of these items. Thank you for helping us make this a special time for all the people in our care, and for blessing our residents and their families this holiday season!
