SPF Ministerium and Scotch Plains and Fanwood Townships have partnered to help all Scotch Plains/Fanwood federal workers affected by the government shutdown.
As the shutdown heads into its fourth week, the SPF Ministerium and the Townships recognize that it is becoming a hardship for some of our community families. We want our families to know that we are here to help.
If you are a government employee in need of assistance, we are ready and willing to help with a variety of resources. All you have to do is fill out an application and deliver it to the Mayor’s office in Fanwood or the Clerk’s office in Scotch Plains and register. Information will be handled with discretion; recognizing that this is a difficult and stressful time for families. We hop that you find comfort in knowing that your community cares and is here to help.

To Donate:
If you are a community member that would like to help, we will be collecting gift cards to grocery stores, Target, and Walmart. You can forward to Elaine Coupe at St. Bartholomew Church – 2032 Westfield Avenue, Scotch Plains.
If you are a local business that would like to offers services, contact Elaine at 908-322-5192 ext. 141. Please note that all donations that remain after the shutdown will go to the DeNizio Ministerium Fund which is used to help those in need in our community.
The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Ministerium consists of representatives of houses of worship and community leaders who meet monthly to address various issues in the community and to build stronger bonds in the community by working together.
