LOCAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Outreach is one cornerstone of St. Paul's ministry
Food Pantry: The Food Pantry is open from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Nutritious non-perishable items from cereal and pancake mix to spaghetti and soup are provided to patrons in need on a once a month basis. The food is donated by members of the church, and the program is also supported by grants from the Wakefield Corporation and the State of New York's HPNAP program. These funds are used to purchase food at discounted prices from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
Blood
Pressure Clinic: The Blood
Pressure Clinic is open from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on
Thursdays
staffed by a volunteer registered nurse. Don't miss this opportunity to take advantage of this free "Safe Your
Heart" service!
Community Transition
Center (CTC): The Community Transition Center
(CTC) is a Dutchess County Department of Probation program for young
offenders. It is an alternative to incarceration for
young persons. It has a GED component, drug and alcohol
education program, and regular drug and alcohol abuse testing in an
office and classroom environment. There is no residential component
at St. Paul's. Outreach to young offenders conforms to the
church's mission to serve God, our community and each other. We seek
also to provide a spiritual home, welcome and support for those newly
released from prision and for their families.
