Responding to Hunger in Our Community
Rockland County Food Resources
With recent federal cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), many families are struggling to put food on the table. As people of faith, we are called to respond with compassion.
​
​
Food donations may be brought to the church. The Social Ministries Committee will distribute them to local food banks.

Home Delivered Meals
Meals on Wheels provides peace of mind to caregivers and older adults by delivering nutritious meals to any Rockland resident who cannot shop or cook for themselves due to illness, physical disability or advanced age.
In addition to the daily meal, caring volunteers deliver a friendly, personal connection, a safety check, and an important link to the greater community. Home delivered meals, along with all of our services, are part of a greater continuum of care that enable older adults to remain as independent as possible and living in their own home.
No one is ever denied a meal because of his/her inability to contribute to the Meals On Wheels program.
