Bridges Homeless Outreach
Our teens and adults of the parish prepare a sandwich lunch for the Bridges Homeless Outreach of Summit. The crew, guided by the Outreach, hand out sandwiches, soup, lemonade, and toiletry kits at the 34th Street Heliport on the East River in NYC.
Our team participates twice a year in the Bridges Homeless Outreach. Support in buying groceries, making and delivering lunches is beneficial to those serving and those receiving.
