Serve with City Relief

MBC is very excited to announce that we are serving with City Relief! We are so thrilled to offer the opportunity for you to serve those in our community who are in need. Our outreach days begin early. We depart from MBC at 7:15 AM sharp and travel to the City Relief base in Clifton, NJ. Volunteers who prefer to meet us directly at the base are welcome to do so. Upon arrival, we meet with the City Relief outreach leaders who guide us through the day. Before heading out, we participate in essential preparation work—making drinks, bagging bread, loading the buses, and helping prepare City Relief’s well-known soup. Throughout the outreach, volunteers can serve in a variety of ways: handing out soup, drinks, and resources; offering hospitality and conversation; or assisting behind the scenes by scooping soup and replenishing supplies. At the conclusion of the outreach, we return to the Clifton base to assist with cleanup. After wrapping up, we head back to MBC, typically returning by 4:30
