Every year, we partner with Delaware HIV Consortium and several local bakeries for a fundraiser "Easy As Pie" where you can get the best dessert for the holiday, while also support our cause.

Get your dessert through "Easy as Pie" & help fighting hunger and poverty! Order a delicious Thanksgiving pie for $20 or $25 and support services to people with HIV/AIDS. Pies are made by Linvilla Orchards, Just Desserts by Jekeitta, Achenbach Pastries, and Pellman Bakery!

Visit www.delawarehiv.org to order today! All pie orders must be received by November 22nd at noon. Ten pick-up locations throughout the state on November 26th. 

All proceeds go to our programs statewide. We appreciate your help!

Every year, the associates at The Buccini/Pollin Group(BPG) spend an entire day giving back to the local community by providing volunteer services in the Wilmington, DE area.

This year, they are able to extend the day of service up to a week, cleaning up the weeds and ivy growing outside Il Bambino, our infant care center; Sacred Heart Village II, our senior center; and the Samatarian Outreach, our distribution center located in east Wilmington.

It is so inspiring when corporate groups do community service, and we could not do what we do without the support of organizations like BPG -- Here are just a few of the photos showing the great work they were doing.

Thank you for your service this week! We are blessed to have you here.

Employment

The Ministry of Caring is always in search of talented individuals with a passion for serving those in need to join its staff. In a caring and compassionate work environment, employees of the Ministry have an opportunity to grow professionally while also helping to improve the lives of the poor and the homeless.

Volunteers

The Ministry of Caring is deeply grateful to the many volunteers who offer their time and talents, on a one-time, occasional or ongoing basis, to further the work of our programs on behalf of the poor. Civic and corporate groups who wish to complete a project or collect items for donations to the Ministry of Caring also are much appreciated.

Child Care

The Ministry of Caring operates three child care centers, each of which responds to an acute need for affordable child care for the homeless and working poor. These include residents of Ministry emergency homeless shelters and additional residents of inner city neighborhoods.

Dining Rooms

Emmanuel Dining Room helps alleviate the immediate needs of Delaware’s hungry with nutritious meals served at no cost and with no questions asked. The program operates at three locations in economically depressed areas of Wilmington and New Castle, Delaware.

Emergency Shelters

Our four emergency shelters provide lodging and daily meals for homeless men, women and families. All clients receive case management, and basic needs like clothing and personal supplies.  Residents are required to work on their goals and develop skills that will allow them to live independently. Each client must implement a budget, begin a savings plan and participate in life-skills workshops.

Francis X. Norton

The Francis X. Norton Center is available for social and educational functions of many types, including meetings, weddings, rehearsal dinners and fundraisers.

Support Services

The Ministry offers a direct-service site where homeless and impoverished clients can come basic necessities, like a shower or change of clothes, plus counseling services. We offer a dental clinic geared to those low or no income and who lack insurance. Our Job Placement Center assists people seeking employment. We also partner with St. Francis Hospital to provide medical services for the poor.
