Call for donations! Loaves & Fishes Day of Service

For 40 years, Stuart has provided the noon meal for Loaves and Fishes at St. Mary’s Cathedral on Perry Street in Trenton on the last Saturday in January. We join this organization on this particular day to offer a warm meal and hospitality in a time of cold and scarcity.

We would like to ask each member of our school community to participate; there are several ways in which families can help. 

⓵ Each student is asked to donate $2.00 for the purchase of food and to bake brownies in disposable trays.

② Each grade level will be responsible for specific donated items, similar to the Thanksgiving Food Drive. Below are links to donation requests by division, which include drop-off directions. Donations are due by Thursday, January 23. Please read carefully as locations/details differ by division. 

• Lower School 
• Middle School
• Upper School

③ On Saturday, January 25, Stuart families, students, staff, and faculty will set up and serve the meal from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. We would love to have Upper School students and their families helping at the meal. Any amount of time and help is appreciated. Tasks include preparing food in the kitchen, serving meals, distributing bagged lunches and toiletries, and playing with the children. We may also need a few volunteers to transport food from Stuart at 8 AM. Please sign up using this form: Loaves and Fishes Sign-Up 2025.
