UU Congregation at Rock Tavern

Utilizing a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan, and gifts from individual congregants and donors, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Rock Tavern took action this week to distribute food to vulnerable communities. The congregation created a Food Security Initiative to be led by Bryon Abrams, a Navy veteran and resident of Newburgh, who will head the volunteer task force to deliver food to households in Orange and Sullivan Counties. Abrams reports that “the first shipment of 80 bags of groceries will be coming in next week.” Non-perishable food will be stored at the congregation’s 9 Vance Road location in Rock Tavern for the time being pending distribution to individuals or families in need.
