Feeding the Hungry
Food Pantry:
Our Food Pantry is located inside the Thrift Shop at 2568
Although we are used to hearing about hunger conditions overseas, with the current economic conditions, families just next door are having trouble stretching their food dollars, and when you are hungry, little else matters. All other aspects of day-to-day living are put on hold. That’s why our church supports local hunger-relief programs like our own Food Pantry that serves an average of 27 families each month. The Food Pantry is managed by volunteers from the church and is open the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month between 11:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. At these times, individuals and families from the community visit our church and receive free bags of assorted foods designed to meet their daily nutritional requirements. The Food Pantry also responds to emergency needs of the community beyond the normal hours of operation. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, special food baskets are put together to help those who are less fortunate celebrate the holidays.
For information on donations or any questions you might have, please call (845) 297-2800.
Caring and Support
Our Members:
Our Deacons assist our pastor to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the lonely, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith. They visit members in hospitals, nursing homes and provide rides to and from doctor offices. Sometimes it’s as simple as providing a ride to the grocery store, but to the person who is home bound this means freedom to continue to live in a familiar surroundings. As our population ages the number of requests for assistance increases. Through prayer and faith our congregation continues to support this ministry through the use of their talents and gifts to serve the Lord.
Twice Blessed Thrift Shop:
Our Thrift Shop continues to make a positive difference in the community. It provides a unique shopping experience and good fellowship for residents.
