We love are friends at FSUMC - People’s Church in East Harlem. Each Thursday in partnership with SCSC, and they help serve hundreds of warm meals and clothing donations to neighbors in need. The best of neighbors!

Friends of SCSC! We have moved to the giving platform GiveButter for all private donations for a Harlem Food Pantry and Warm Meal Programs that help feed neighbors in need in New York City! Check out the new site and consider giving to this important mission as we enter the Summer month and as SNAP benefit funding is harder to come by for so many of our neighbors in need!

Subject: Join Us Monday at Salem – Rethink Food Press Conference & Community Celebration

This Monday, Salem United Methodist Church will have the honor of hosting a very special gathering in partnership with Rethink Food, and I would love for you to be there.

Monday, March 2nd
Salem United Methodist Church
2190 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd.
New York, NY 10027

10:00 AM – Community Meal Distribution

10:30 AM – Press Conference

We will welcome elected leaders and partners from across New York State as we celebrate the expansion of Rethink Food’s work statewide through the proposed Chef-to-Community Tax Credit (A9055 / S8719). This initiative supports restaurants and chefs in preparing fresh, healthy meals for communities experiencing food insecurity — strengthening local businesses while feeding our neighbors.

Joining us will be Assembly Member Jordan J.G. Wright, Assembly Member Charles D. Fall, Senator Michelle Hinchey, members of the Business Council of New York State, and partners from food programs across the state. Together, we will lift up the power of collaboration — chefs, faith communities, nonprofits, and public servants — working side by side for the common good.

Salem has long believed that feeding our neighbors is holy work. To host this moment — as the vision expands to serve all of New York State — is something worth celebrating.

Come stand with us.
Come celebrate with us.
Come bear witness to what happens when compassion meets policy and community meets action.

I hope to see you Monday morning at Salem.
