From
the August 20th edition of The Caroline County Times-Record:
|
Saint
Martin's Ministries
received $3,000 from Centreville National Bank
and Talbot Bank. For the last 25 years, Saint
Martin's Ministries has been committed to meeting
the basic human needs of impoverished people in
the mid-shore. The money will assist with food,
financial subsidies and helping homeless women
and children. Pictured are Buck Duncan, president
and CEO of Talbot Bank and Win Trice, president
and CEO of Centreville National Bank, helping
Sister Patricia Gamgort, executive director of
Saint Martin's Ministries bring in canned foods
collected by Centreville National Bank employees.

Saint Martin's Ministries
is sponsored by the Benedictine
Sisters of Saint Gertrude's Monastery and located
in Ridgely, Maryland.
The
mission of St. Martin's Ministries, the umbrella for Saint
Martin's Barn and
Saint Martin's House, is to:
Help
meet the basic human needs of impoverished
people, respect
and affirm their dignity, and address
the root problems that perpetuate the cycle of poverty.
Saint
Martin's Barn provides food, financial subsidies for
housing, utilities
and medicine to low-income families of all religious affiliations.
Saint Martin's House offers a transitional residence
for homeless women and children.

What
makes Saint Martin's Ministries worthwhile is hopefully
eliminating the choice between eating and paying rent.
Sr.
Patricia Gamgort, Executive Director
