Happy Valentine’s Day!  

2010 New Building Project Annual Appeal – letters were mailed out last month to current and potential donors and we are already receiving donations. We received a very positive response in 2009 and hope that 2010 will bring the same. We ask that you be our voice and spread the word to your family and friends. If you did not receive our appeal but would like to help us please visit New Building Project where you will find our 2010 letter and form.

 KMFP clients benefit from coat drives – that were conducted by the Hazlet Business Association, Community Church of Keyport, Bayshore Christian Fellowship, Calvary United Methodist and Gethsemane Lutheran Church.  

The coats (men, women and children) distributed were in great condition and our clients were truly grateful.We would like to say “Thank You” to all the donors and volunteers who made these drives possible and helped us keep our clients and their children warm during these winter months.
