Open Door Clinic at St. Wilfrid’s in Camden

Started by members of Grace Church and the First Presbyterian Church in 2010, the Open Door Clinic is now a partnership of area congregations and friends providing, food, clothing, and other essentials to Camden families. We cannot do this important ministry without our dedicated volunteers. Although we are not currently functioning as a clinic, all youth and adults are invited to volunteer each month to fill all the roles, from signing in the clients, handing out the food bags and diapers/wipes, prepping over 120 food bags for the next handout week, manning the clothing tables, and other ‘odd jobs’. We are currently in need of help to prep for the Christmas Toy Handout and the November Turkey handout.

Items such as clothing, books, toys and baby supplies for the clinic may be donated in the collection bin in the Parish Hall. Financial assistance to help with the cost of heating and electricity at St. Wilfrid’s may be donated online, through the church office or through the offering plate.

I believe we are truly doing God’s work here, and it personally fills me with Joy to know our clients and do what I can to make their lives better. To volunteer or find out more, please contact me: Nora Bollinger (noramsn@aol.com, 856.625.6190). Or, see me at Grace on Sunday, after the 8:00 service or at the 10:00 service.

PB&J: If you are interested in making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that we give out each week, please select a donation week by contacting the coordinator wendy.coffman@gmail.com.

Canned food donations, diapers and wipes can be deposited in the bin by the back entrance of Grace Church (on the PATCO side of our campus).

Please drop off non-perishables in the collection bin behind Grace’s Parish House, on the PATCO station side. Essential items especially include canned tuna and meat, canned vegetables, pasta, tomato sauce, peanut butter, diapers, and feminine products.
