Our Board of Deacons provides to those in our community in need a regular food pick up opportunity through our food pantry. Because we are connected to the Food Bank of Northeastern NY through the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley, we can provide wonderful, nutricious food to folks in need.
Donations are always welcome. Please contact the church office to see what the current need is at 845-386-3851 or email at otisvillepres@message.church.
Volunteers are also welcome. Be sure to contact the office and the Food Pantry manager will call and let you know when you can come to help and the rules.
The food pantry is open to clients from the community on the first and third Thursdays of the month from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Please bring picture identification and proof of address like a utility bill.
The food pantry does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, age, national origin or disability.
Our Backpack Program provides bags of food to be added to Elementary students backpack by school staff for children from food scare families. The bags have two breakfasts and two lunches for the child's weekend. They are supplied to the school staff for distribution.
