ST. PETER'S SUPPER
Help Honor St. Patrick at St. Peter’s! We all may know that St. Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland, but did you know he was also known for his compassion towards the marginalized and vulnerable? We invite you to honor his kindness and empathy towards those in need by helping support the next St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Outreach Community Supper coming up on March 14. Since the number of guests experiencing food insecurity has been increasing, we need donations for about 150 meals along with about 20 volunteers to make the supper a success, Please consider contributing food items (which can be homemade or store-bought and dropped off anytime during the week of the dinner) or your time by accessing the link below.

Training will be provided to successful applicants.
180’s volunteer DVRT Advocates are civilian members of the community who work collaboratively with law enforcement to provide support, information, and resources to victims of domestic violence at police headquarters. Advocates also discuss with victims safety planning and their legal rights in regard to obtaining a Temporary Restraining Order. By providing empathy and a crucial perspective of the situation, these specially-trained advocates help to empower victims to make informed decisions for themselves and their families.
Basic requirements for volunteers to apply include that they must be eighteen years of age or older, have access to reliable transportation, possess a valid driver’s license, be willing to serve on an on-call shift basis, participate in an interview process, submit to background investigations and fingerprinting, and successfully complete the mandatory training. The police departments and 180 are committed to culturally and socially diverse teams to better serve the community. Bi-lingual capability is helpful. Prior knowledge of domestic violence is not required. The identities of the DVRT volunteers are kept anonymous. For an application or additional information, contact Tina Morgan, Assistant Coordinator, Victim Support Program, at tinam@180nj.org or 732 264-4360, Ext. 4272.
