This is the second year The Cathedral has partnered with the Rev. Larry Jones, founder of Feed the Children, to provide essential items to the needy. Peggy Tyson of Perth Amboy is on a fixed income. It gets difficult during the holidays. Henry Rodgers, an elder at The Cathedral in Perth Amboy, said the church is concerned about more than just the community's souls.
