On-going Outreach Ministries
Jan-Peek Dinners
Throughout the month, several area churches donate a dinner for the one to two
dozen residents who live in this shelter. Many of these residents are
recovering addicts, awaiting housing, and making a what can be a challenging
transition into a drug-free life. Asbury serves dinner to the shelter residents
on the second Sunday of every month.
The home cooking is much appreciated by the residents and serving up food with
love at the Jan Peek shelter can be a very rewarding experience. Please speak with Jud Ramaker
to offer culinary delights and/or assist with serving the meal.
Peekskill Hot Lunch Program
Peekskill Lunches: On the third Monday of every month, Asbury members provide a lunch of lasagna, salad, bread and dessert for the Peekskill Lunch Program, which offers daily hot lunches for the homeless and hungry population in Peekskill. We heat lasagna and make salad beginning at 9:30 a.m., leave for Peekskill at 11:15 a.m. and return around 1:00 p.m. Please speak with the Pastor (271-3150) to offer your assistance.
Cortlandt Emergency Food Bank
Worshipers are invited to bring non-perishable food items to be received during the Offering for Others. All food is donated to the Cortlandt Emergency Food Bank. Many members of the congregation volunteer their time and talents to ensure that the Food Bank is there for those in need. Click here for information on The Cortlandt Emergency Food Bank
