St. Andrew’s/St. Luke's Food Pantry

Change in Time 10 am to 11 am each Saturday 

 Our parishioners bring food items to church  to the food pantry in a        second offering at each Sunday service with a view to supporting this       effort.

  Saint Andrew’s/ St. Luke's will seek continuing support from the Mid Hudson Regional Food Band, the local business community and from the state. A dozen parishioners from the 2 churches participate in various aspects of this service from securing  and purchasing food, to preparing menus and stocking shelves,      to meeting  and distributing food to our guests.

 We do not believe that it is possible to give bread as a gift to a person who      is hungry. Rather we believe that we can only return to that person what is  theirs by a prior right.

St. Andrew's and St. Luke's churches are committed to the  Jesus who    clearly identified himself with the poor. We are ever mindful that he said,     “I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink” and    that it is Christ himself who is always the guest who comes to our pantry   door.

Any member of the wider community who would like to participate in the   work of the pantry. please call: 845 331 1369
