Feed The People

The Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry is located in South Church, across the hall from the Chapel where we hold our Sunday services. Any Sunday, please feel free to bring nonperishable foods or household staples to donate to the Food Pantry. You can also put donations in the bin outside of South Church, or donate online (https://dobbsferrypantry.org/). Thank you for your generosity!

Share The Plate Updates

Our February Share the Plate recipient was Prideworks (https://prideworks.com/wp_new/), and our contributions totaled $400. Members of FUSW are involved in the Prideworks conference on March 15th as organizers, workshop participants and volunteers.

Our March Share the Plate recipient is Family-to-Family, Inc. (https://www.family-to-family.org/), a grassroots nonprofit 501(c)(3) hunger and poverty relief organization dedicated to providing food, personal hygiene products and other basic life essentials to American families struggling with the challenges of poverty. By connecting donors one-to-one with specific families in need, Family-to-Family’s mission is to bring a large and seemingly intractable problem – poverty – into personal focus, making concrete and meaningful results possible…one family at a time. We collect for our Share-the-Plate partner throughout the month. Visit the Donation page on fusw.org, click “Donate,” and select “Share the Plate.”

The Board of Trustees usually meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:30pm. We are currently meeting online. Meetings are open to any member of FUSW. If the Board enters into executive session to discuss personnel or confidential matters, non-Board members will be asked to leave for that portion of the meeting. At the end of the meeting there will be an open forum, moderated by the President, during which non-Board members can speak about topics of concern. We ask that you limit your remarks to two minutes. This forum will last from five to ten minutes, depending on the Board agenda. Please contact any Board member if you have questions or comments.
