Helping CCNCC young people help those in need

Our Confirmation candidates collected money at the doors of all the CCNCC churches during the weekend of February 12 and 13 as part of “Souper” Bowl weekend. Thank you to all who contributed. Your generosity was overwhelming! Funds will be used to provide food to the Joseph Outreach Van, Joseph House Shelter, and Sidewalk Warriors.

Sidewalk Warriors

Please continue to support this organization through your donations. The extremely cold weather means that there is a need for NEW thermal tops/ bottoms and thinsulated gloves for people. As always, the need continues for easily prepared foods like pancake mix, as well as reusable bags and Ziplock style food bags. All donations can be dropped off at the CCNCC offices at 1025 Kinderhook Street in Valatie.
