Churches in Delray Beach Are Providing Recession Relief

Churches in Delray Beach continue to help give recession relief to residents. At St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 188 S. Swinton Ave., they have a food pantry on-site open from 12 to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday.

St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church, 840 George Bush Blvd., has a special volunteer group that aims to help out Delray Beach residents with recession relief. The group is known as the St. Vincent Depaul's Society Assistance. The focus of this group is the needy primarily in Delray Beach. They also focus on residents who recently lost jobs, were hurt in an accident, illness or unexpected emergency. Residents inquiring about help from the St. Vincent Depaul's Society Assistance should call 561-272-7580 and leave a name, telephone number, address and a short description of information on why they need relief.

At Cason United Methodist Church, 342 N. Swinton Ave., residents can find recession relief meals on the weekends. The Weekend Meal/Brown Bag Lunch Program is available every Saturday mornings from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Also, two bag lunches (one for Saturday and one for Sunday) are available to homeless and near homeless individuals and families, people with low incomes, senior citizens and needy children in the community. Cason United Methodist Church is asking for volunteers to help pack and distribute bag lunches.
