Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday Baskets – New Dorp Moravian Church
Every fall, New Dorp Moravian Church coordinates the collection of a variety of food items to be placed into Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday Baskets. Food donations of everything holiday related are assembled, and delivered, to help make Thanksgiving and Christmas a special time for families in need.
Monetary donations toward the Baskets also greatly appreciated.
Last year, we again filled over 100 baskets for others in need. We primarily assist families who’s names have been provided. This year we hope to update and expand our list of families who are in need. If you know anyone who is food insecure, please call the church office with names, addresses, and contact information.
Many thanks to everyone for your generous donations to this worthy ministry of our Church.
