Thank You Greenpoint!

Opening the doors of the church is always a treat, but these past few weeks have been even more enjoyable thanks to the wonderful outpouring of food that our neighbors have shared with the food pantry. Each time anyone checked the donation box on the front stoop, it seemed that another kind person had left a little more food. Thanks to this generosity, the food pantry opened with enough food for the next several weeks.
On Wednesday several volunteers arrived to pass out groceries and cook an amazingly delicious dinner. This effort provided 25 people with groceries for the week, and even more people shared a tasty meal with one another. It was a delightfully fun evening, with several people likening it to a holiday. So many people expressed their gratitude - for the food, the friendship, and the opportunity to be of service to one another.
Thank you to everyone who is helping to make this exiting new venture possible. You’re really making a difference in our community. So many people are looking forward to next Wednesday when we’ll gather again!
