There's also a free Christmas Day dinner from 12 pm till 2, supported by local restaurants like Joe Leone's and by St Gregory's Pantry, at the Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church - as there has been for many years.

Do either of these events need volunteers?

Ms. Sousa, you can call Ms. Salardino at (908) 420-8954 and ask about the Sunday event. And you can call Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church 732-899-0587 and ask about their dinner on Christmas Day. I will be posting a separate story about the Presbyterian church and St. Paul's in Bay Head serving free dinners. I know St. Paul's could also use some volunteers for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day: St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 423 W Lake Ave, Bay Head, 732-892-5926. Thank you for offering to help and Happy Holidays.

Hi Sandra, Thank you for offering to volunteer. Luckily all of the volunteers from the Thanksgiving dinner are returning so I have more than enough help for this dinner. Thank you though :) Happy holidays

Thanks for letting me know. Merry Christmas!

What's up with volunteering in town? I have been trying for years along with so many who has also tried.... We all have been unsuccessful. Is it that they only want certain individuals from their own town, so only to get credit for one reason or another. The town that shuts everyone out.

Clayton: Here is some info. http://patch.com/A-07M0 in story at top of Patch site about two churches that could use some help.St. Paul's in particular made a point of telling me they could really use some new volunteers. Thank you for offering to help.
