For the month of May, we will be supporting St. Paul’s Camp Faith

For the low-income children of Camden, summer vacation often means going without breakfast or lunch. The food programs that provide these basic meals through the school system end when summer vacation begins. If there are no daycare alternatives when school ends, a child left unsupervised during the long, hot days of summer can be a dangerous situation for many reasons.

With your help, Camp Faith run by St Paul’s Episcopal Church in Camden can continue to give 50 to 100 children five weeks of Summer Camp. Their goal is to provide a joy filled and safe environment where children come to know Jesus through bible stories, songs, games, sports, crafts, and outings. It is one of the very few ways that children in Camden can be nourished spiritually, emotionally, and physically as breakfast and lunch are provided daily. Sometimes, these may be the only meals they receive. Often, they ask for extra sandwiches so they have something for dinner or for a sibling.

Please help support Camp Faith with your donations using the outreach envelopes or by dropping off a check to the office made out to Trinity noted for “Camp Faith”. Donations may also be sent through our outreach web page. Also please watch for upcoming information regarding volunteer opportunities to help out at the camp and to make sandwiches for lunches.

Thank you for your continued support!
