Federation For The Homeless - Outreach Mission
This morning our Pastor, Nicole, Vicky, and Chris all posed with hair nets in place for these shots.
You might say they were dressed and ready to "serve" - this is the 'glamour' shot.

Upon learning of budget cuts at the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless in Monticello the people of the Mongaup Valley United Methodist Church sought the guidance of their Pastor Randy Yerkes. As the budget cuts had resulted in the discontinuation of Federation’s hot breakfast program, Pastor Yerkes suggested that the Church could provide and serve a hot breakfast once a week. Facing financial difficulties of their own, the Church nonetheless enthusiastically embraced this opportunity to serve.

The Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless greeted the offer with graciousness and thanksgiving. On Wednesday February 4, three church members and the pastor brought eggs, hard rolls and cheese to the Federation. The Federations’ cooks prepared the meals and the Church served the people.

Together with the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless, The Mongaup Valley United Methodist Church will be serving a hot breakfast every Wednesday at the Federations’ facilities in Monticello.

Pastor Yerkes said, “For a few dollars and a couple of hours of time anyone can make a difference.” He also encourages any other groups or organizations to consider providing breakfast on the remaining days. Pastor Yerkes can be reached at Randoyerkes@yahoo.com.
