The Mary and Martha Circle

Candle Project: For Those in Need in Our Midst

Each year the Mary and Martha Circle chooses a recipient for their Mother’s and Father’s Day fund raiser. Because of our awareness of the outreach of the Port Jefferson Food Pantry, we selected the Pantry as the one to whom we will send the proceeds of this year’s drive. Among the people served by this organization with food and clothing are a great number of young mothers and their infant children.

We used our popular "candle project" once more to raise these much needed funds. Beginning Sunday, April 22nd, including April 29th and May 6th, candles were purchased in honor or memory of an important woman. Candles were $5.00 each and were lit and displayed on our altar.  A similar opportunity was given for Father’s Day.

Last year over $900.00 was raised through the candle project. With your prayers and generous support we raised over $1,000.00 to the Port Jefferson Food Pantry.
