Social Ministry Donations Calendar

Our April Social Ministry donation is in support of Lifebridge North Shore

56 Margin St. 

Salem, MA 01970 

For more than three decades, Lifebridge has been working to meet the most urgent needs of the homeless and under-housed on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Our history began in 1980 when The Crombie Street Congregational Church made it their mission to provide outreach to the homeless population. Initially a soup kitchen that served the homeless two evenings each week, soon grew to a place where meals were being provided on a regular basis seven days a week.
