Hunger Helpers in Newark

Through our Hunger Helpers program, volunteers are empowered to change the lives of men, women, and children living in poverty. St. John’s Parish operates a soup kitchen serving 300-500 homeless Newark residents six times a week.

Donating a few hours of your time and participating in this rewarding project, you will make a difference in the lives of many by preparing meals to be served throughout the week to those who otherwise would go hungry.
