We call them our “Amazon Angels.”
That’s because the Life Lutheran Church in Old Westbury generously supports our New LIFE Center.
Their church website lists Amazon links for needed food, coats, or baby-related items, allowing congregation members to place orders that are shipped directly to the church. Then their dedicated volunteers deliver to our New LIFE Center.
Pictured here: Two congregation members who make the deliveries —Stephen Baker and Mike Gayson. They have been friends for over twenty years and are retired New York City firefighters who now spend much of their free time delivering donations to our center. Their life of service continues!
We are deeply grateful for the Life Church’s ongoing support.
Thanks in no small part to them, this year we distributed:
- 105 layettes for new parents in need
- 360 Thanksgiving bags of food
- 590 backpacks filled with school supplies
- 865 packages of diapers
- 145,000 pounds of food to over 18,000+ clients
Our clients can shop for food — gratis — at our New LIFE Center pantry once per month.
It costs us an average of $50 per person to provide the food allotments.
Every gift counts.
Please consider a year-end donation so that we can continue to support families in need:
