Now that school is out for the summer, many children are not getting breakfast or lunch through the schools, and the demand at food pantries is even higher than before. We are doing a food drive here at church this summer and ask that you consider a food donation of breakfast and lunch foods, items such as: boxed cereal, peanut butter, jelly, muffin or pancake mix, pop tarts, apple sauce, breakfast bars, oatmeal, syrup or any non-perishables. Shop the summer sales! Donations can be dropped off at the church on Saturday mornings, between 9am and noon, or on Sundays during worship service. All donations will be delivered to the People to People Food Pantry.

Give with joy…Your donations will directly benefit local families in need!

“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.“

The “Souper Bowl of Caring” is a national program to tackle hunger that is commemorated in many churches on Super Bowl Sunday. This year, it’s Sunday, February 13th. NHPC is participating this year, and we ask that you bring one can of soup to church on February 13th. All donations will go to the People to People Food Pantry, in Rockland County. We also accept other donations of non-perishable food items as part of our ongoing food drive for People to People’s Food Pantry. Please give as often as you can!

Pentecost is Sunday, May 23rd. This year, your gifts to the Pentecost Offering will directly benefit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Multi-Purpose Center in Spring Valley. Help is always needed, but especially now, as the Center gears up for its summer program. You can help ensure that local children have safe, fun and educational experiences this summer. Give to the Pentecost Offering!

Now through Sunday, December 20th, our Deacons are collecting warm winter socks for our homeless neighbors and others in need. Our goal is to collect 150 pairs of socks, to “Warm the Soles” of individuals throughout Rockland County.

Why socks? Imagine spending your entire day outdoors, often in cold and wet weather…Imagine having no easy access to laundry, shower or bathroom facilities…and how much more difficult all this is during a pandemic. Imagine how good it would feel to have an extra pair of clean, warm socks at the end of a long day. It’s such a simple gesture, and can mean so much.

Our collection bin is inside the front door of the church, so be sure to bring in your socks by Sunday, December 20th. Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted, and we’ll do the shopping for you! (If you write a check, be sure to indicate “Socks” in the memo line.)

Contact Laura Bidon with any questions, or to arrange drop-off/pick-up at non-church hours.

Thank you for “Warming the Soles” of Rockland County!
