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 "Save 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.
