Do you have two hours once a month to help at the Kitchen Cupboard?
It is an all-volunteer organization sponsored by Area Congregations Together (ACT) of which FCCI is a member. It is located at the Salvation Army on Albany Street. FCCI provides volunteers to assist with distribution at Kitchen Cupboard for 2 hours (1:15 to 3:15) on the fourth Thursday of the month.
Big THANK YOU to Karen Knudson and Danny Fox for their years of dedication to Kitchen Cupboard representing FCCI!
Kitchen Cupboard provides fresh food (when available), pantry staples, and household supplies to anyone who comes in. Most of the food is provided by the Food Bank of the Southern Tier and from local groceries, farms, and shops. Please call or text Jack Harkins for more info, 914-467-8131
FCCI Blue Cabinet Initiative
FCCI continues to support three blue cabinets in Ithaca each week, and we need your support. You can make a financial contribution or bring in items to go in the cupboards.
Youth Ministries is supporting this ministry for the month of November.
The cupboard in FCCI’s lower parking lot is currently under the stewardship of the Community Nursery School which is housed at FCCI. You are encouraged to add items to it or to put them in the boxes in the church entryway.
The cupboard on State Street next to the Southern Tier Aids serves many users who are unhoused, who are looking for food that is ready to eat or easy to prepare (dried beans would be a poor choice here.
The cupboard on Wood Street (next to the playground in the park just north of Titus Towers serves a mixed community: many are elderly residents of Titus Towers, some foot traffic/potentially unhoused, youth from the skate park, and of course families. Again – ready to eat, easy to prepare, as well as some items for cooking.
Children's Ministries
Cleaning – If you would be willing to do a load of laundry, we have plush toys to clean. See Darlynne for details. Thank you so much for those of you helping with this task! You are a blessing.
