The Adult Enrichment Ministry was created to help those individuals in our country who suffer from abuse, exploitation, or neglect and in most every case, extreme poverty. We work in cooperation with the Office of Aging Adult Protective Services Unit to identify those persons and their needs.
In addition to Christmas gift giving through Mt. Bethel's Angel Tree and financial contributions to help pay for goods or services not otherwise available to them, we sponsor three socials a year. During these get-togethers, we serve them a meal, and provide some type of entertainment or activity. For most of them the occasional outing is a rare and much anticipated affair. By the very nature of the problems that brought them under the State's supervision, they are not accustomed to being treated with the respect, dignity and consideration that we promote when planning these events.
