Croton Caring and Our Saviour Lutheran Church Partner to Fight Food Insecurity
March 23, 2023
Croton Caring and Our Saviour Lutheran Church are pleased to announce a new partnership that will allow them to combat food insecurity in Croton by relocating Croton Caring’s food-program headquarters to the Church.
Among its many needs-based programs, Croton Caring’s Food Basket Program distributes four to six boxes of food to containing much-needed perishables and non-perishables (milk, butter, bagels, bread, eggs, meat, etc.) to each family four times each year to coincide with school holidays. Most recently, Croton Caring’s December Food Baskets provided 265 boxes of food to 62 households comprising more than 254 Croton residents (and more than 130 children).
“While Croton Caring has always provided programs addressing food insecurity in our community and dramatically increased its efforts since COVID when need exploded, our efforts, while significant, have been constrained by a lack of space,” said Nancy Squire, Croton Caring President. “We are extremely thankful to Pastor Justin Johnson, the Church Council and the entire Our Saviour Lutheran community for their generosity and support as this new space provides us with the opportunity to double our capacity.”
“Our community is continually looking for ways further our mission to offer spiritual grounding and growth by connecting with God and our community,” said Pastor Justin Johnson. “This is a wonderful way to celebrate our 90th year in Croton and we are excited about this partnership and look forward to working together to help meet the needs of our Village community.”
Croton Caring’s next round of food baskets, and the first conducted from the new space, will be delivered on April 2, just in time for the upcoming spring school holiday.
