Community Service
What We Do
Sharing Meals at Table of Grace
Every Saturday at the First United Methodist Church of Brewster we make up bagged lunches or a hot meal in winter, and hand out/serve to those in need while getting to know the community through conversation.
United Methodist Committee on Relief
As part of our commitment to community service, we assemble UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Health Kits, providing essential hygiene items for distribution in disaster-stricken areas.
The Appalachia Service Project
This long-standing mission to Appalachia prepares teens and young adults for a transformative week of not only making homes warmer, safer, and dryer, but a spiritual impact on the volunteers.
Be a Part of Faith in Action Sunday
Once each year we replace our regular worship with service projects such as singing in a nursing home or doing yard work for an affordable housing project.
Emergency Shelter Partnership
During winter, we offer shelter and three daily meals to homeless individuals for a week, providing warmth, nourishment, and a welcoming haven from the cold.
Northern Westchester Community Center
We support food drives, back to school supplies, clothing for special occasions (e.g., Share the Warmth around the winter holidays, Prom Clothing), and other special drives that the Community Center needs.
“The compassionate actions of its members most accurately measure the greatness of a community.”
