They also visit Nursing Homes and Adult Home residents.

Serve Committee
Since the inception of the Ossining Food Pantry in 1988, “Beef Stew Weekend” has been a tradition in the parish. Parishioners volunteer for monthly pick-ups at church, Wednesday delivery, Thursday packing, Friday distribution, special events and service on the Board. Beef Stew Weekend is the first weekend of every month. If you are interested in volunteering, please call the rectory.
The Ossining Food Pantry coordinators are: Tom Gowan and Marty Engelhardt.
The Serve Committee coordinators are: Bernadette and Joe DeAngelis, and Rob and Penny Phelan
The Christmas Giving Tree is the second major project of the Serve Committee and the coordinator is Julie Holowach. In the weeks before Christmas parishioners are invited to take a gift tag from a Christmas Giving Tree in the Church vestibule, purchase the gift named on the tag, and return the gift to church just before Christmas. Over 1,000 Christmas gifts are distributed to organizations serving people in need in the Bronx and Westchester.
Platinum Plus Club (formerly Folks Over Fifty)
Ask a friend, or come alone to meet new friends. The Platinum Plus Club hopes to continue in Folks Over Fifty’s footsteps by offering lectures, luncheons, small trips, entertainment, and companionship to those age 50 and over.
For more information, please contact Joanne Singer at (914) 941-6092 or Maureen Thaler at (914) 941-1646.
