Pictured, from left, Carolyn Biondi, Executive Director of The Crisis Ministry of Mercer County, and Elizabeth Wall, Housing Stability Program Coordinator, are surrounded by a colorful variety of gifts donated by members of Trinity Church Princeton, Princeton Girl Scouts Council, First Baptist Church of Trenton, First Presbyterian Church of Ewing, Nassau Presbyterian Church of Princeton and Shine and Inspire, Inc., based in Pennington. The gifts will go to families who are working with the Crisis Ministry on the path to achieving financial stability.
At the moment Elizabeth Wall’s office at The Crisis Ministry of Mercer County resembles a gift-wrapping room in Santa’s Workshop.
