The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic affect everyone, including homeless families and people who are hungry. Our Lady of Mount Carmel is in the business of helping all those people, and we are continuing to do that even in these trying days. With that said, it is of the utmost importance that parishioners stay safe, healthy and do not do anything outside of their comfort zone.
On April 7th OLMC will keep her commitment to serve our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. Join us for our next Walk-In Dinner program on Tuesday, April 7th.

Important, please read!
We will be amending our drop off policy. OLMC staff members will collect the donated food at the elevator entrance at the North Parking directly from your car at 12 Noon. They will be wearing protective gear, sanitize all containers and then reheat the meal. No volunteers are to enter the building. Please be as prompt as possible.
For those who choose to serve at the Hackensack Walk In Dinner (120 S. River Street, Hackensack, NJ), you must wear closed toe shoes and a baseball hat. We will provide gloves and other protective materials. The Department of Health and Human Services has many best practices in place and has amended their services to protect their clients and our volunteers including taking the temperature of all guests and volunteers. Thank you for your service!
