Here are ways you can help!
Would you like to Volunteer?
If you are interested in Volunteering, please contact Mrs. Kimberly Santiago at scsvolunteers@stanthonysofredbank.net.
Volunteer opportunities:
Pantry preparations on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings
Unloading deliveries from the food bank (various mornings)
Serving at the pantry on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, Wednesday and Friday mornings
Picking up fresh vegetables from the markets
Picking up donations of food from family and friends and bringing them to the pantry

Working with the Giving Tree in November and December (see bulletin for details)
ADULT VOLUNTEERS (18+):
We are so grateful for your interest and your generosity in helping us!
Prior to volunteering, it is necessary to (1) fill out a Parish Volunteer Application, (2) attend a Virtus Safe Environment training with Br. Daniel here at the parish, and (3) receive a background check. These requirements apply to all volunteers and employees working within the diocese.
Please email Mrs. Santiago at scsvolunteers@stanthonysofredbank.net to receive more information about completing these three requirements.
Once these requirements have been completed, then you may begin volunteering in the various ministries of St. Crispin Society.
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS (17 and under):
We welcome all students to volunteer!
Students must be accompanied by an adult (18 years or older). As long as that adult is accompanying the student, the adult does not need to go through the adult volunteer training process. If, however, they would like to continue volunteering apart from the student, please contact Mrs. Santiago to begin the volunteer training process.
Prior to volunteering, students need to register for a time by clicking HERE.
(Note: There is a limit 5 students Monday to Friday in the pantry. There is a limit of 2 students on Saturdays in the Salve Regina Shop)
If you are completing hours for a school or program, please bring the record you are keeping for that school/program and ask the leader of the day on which you are volunteering to sign the record before leaving that day.

Would you like to help out with our children's programs?
Faith Explorers
Faith Explorers is our summer activity program for children from 1st to 8th grade. This program helps children connect a love for faith, creation, and science through great experiences of prayer, games, activities, and trips. It runs for four weeks each summer (usually the whole month of July) from 9am to 12pm (Monday to Friday), except on field trip days. Field trip days typically run longer. High school students are invited to volunteer. Adults are also invited to volunteer (Adults must complete a Virtus Safe Environment training and background check prior to volunteering. To complete these two things, please contact Br. Daniel.) For more information, please contact Br. Daniel at dbower@redbankoratory.net.
Scholastic Explorers
Scholastic Explorers is our after-school program for children from 1st to 12th grade. This program runs during the school year and is open every day that the children have school from 3:30 to 5pm. Each day includes a time of games for the kids to unwind from the school day, a time of prayer and learning about the Faith, and a time of working on homework or improving their academic skills with the assistance of the Brothers of the Oratory and volunteers and tutors. If you are interested in volunteering or working for Scholastic Explorers, please contact Br. Daniel at dbower@redbankoratory.net.
