In our volunteers' words...

"I always wanted to help those who aren't as fortunate as myself. My parents have always told me that we are truly blessed and with all that we have, we should give back to others."
—Alexis Etheridge, student, West Windsor Plainsboro South High School

Read Alexis's entire article, which also appeared in the Crisis Ministry's summer 2011 newsletter.

"Through this effort the students began to understand that being an accountable member of the community sometimes means rolling up your sleeves and actually doing work that will benefit someone else. The students felt empowered by their ability to directly and positively impact another life."
—Joanne Orsini, 4th grade teacher at Village Elementary School, after coordinating "Chores for Cans Food Drive"

"Collecting food is so important. We find it an honor to be part of this work."
—Jackie Martinez, Trenton Central High School student who volunteered with our important food drive partner Yes We Can! Food Drives

"Thank you for partnering with the Lawrenceville School on our annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. We appreciate the opportunity to volunteer at the Crisis Ministry, and our students and faculty always return with glowing reports. We look forward to celebrating our 10th anniversary with you next year!"
—Elizabeth Ferguson, The Lawrenceville School

"I go to Crisis Ministry every month. It is important for me to get out of my own little world that has so much joy, and help others whose worlds don't have so much joy."
—Will, a fifth grade student at Princeton Friends School

"What started as a 'fun run' with a few hundred parishioners has grown into a US Track and Field sanctioned event drawing friends, families and competitive runners from the local Princeton community and as far away as California. We are blessed to support such a worthy organization in our community."
—Mark Hamilton, Former Chair, Trinity Turkey Trot
(The annual Turkey Trot is sponsored by Trinity Church Princeton, a founding congregation of the Crisis Ministry)
