Did You Know?...

 


The Veterans' Home we visit in Montrose NY is really called the FDR Veterans Hospital?  It was opened in 1950 on the 210  acre site of the Stats Morris Dyckman estate.  In the gardens one can find bronze busts of veterans who served in all US wars.  The busts were sculpted by a resident of the hospital.


Dinners @ Noon has been running continuously with the same dedicated leadership for our church since 1987.  And in its twentieth year, the program now serves an average of 60 people per lunch.  That brings our total so far to about 32,000 meals served on over 800 occasions.  WOW!


The children of the Christ's Church Nursery School bring canned food to each of their monthly chapel services.  Parent helpers then deliver the food to the food pantry at the Carver Center. The children also bring baby clothes for the Open Door Health Center, and gather gifts for St. Peter's Port Chester children at Christmas time.
