Here is a wonderful way to help those less fortunate and its as easy as dropping off a food donation at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Clinton at the corner of Carroll Street.

"Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means" Leo Buscaglia.
Saint Paul's Lenten Food Drive
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is sponsoring a food drive to aid The First Presbyterian Church’s food pantry. Located on Henry Street, The First Presbyterian Church distributes food to over 100 families on a weekly basis. Please help us help them in their important work.

Food Bank for New York estimates that over 3 million New York residents experience difficulty in affording food. In recent months the college educated and middle class have joined the growing number of those feeling the pinch.
