Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We have been in touch with the administration of PS 15, an elementary public school in Red Hook, that serves families both in Red Hook and Sunset Park. The majority of the students at PS 15 live in public housing, with some percentage in shelters. The school has set up a system for families to request materials at home - for school work, reading and arts & crafts, as well as some basic cleaning supplies. Food is well provided for with 3 meals a day being offered for pick up for the whole family at the school and other locations. They realize that educational equity is not just about access to technology, it also means access to many of the materials that we take for granted in our homes.

There are currently 40 students whose parents have submitted wish lists. We will be receiving these lists either Friday or Monday. Our hope is that we will be able to adopt all of these children, and provide them with the materials they need. We estimate that it will cost between $75-100 to provide materials for a child with items bought on Amazon, Target, etc for direct delivery to the family. If you are willing to adopt a child(ren), please email us and indicate the number of children you would like to adopt.

We will be in touch with you once we have received all the information.

As always we pray that you are all keeping healthy, and encourage you to be in touch with one another during this time - make a point to reach out to one or two church friends a week. We need each other more than ever to get through this trying time.

In peace with love,

Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ,

Many people have asked us how they can help out in this time.  As we continue forward in this time of crisis and unknown, there are many people in our community who are facing uncertain futures in terms of their income and employment.  

Some of you might know that we have what is called a discretionary fund. It is a fund to be distributed at the discretion of the clergy, specifically to help people who have some financial need, such as help with rent, paying bills, buying food. 

Instead of contributing this Lent to our outreach offering, and in lieu of contributing to Easter Flowers & Music we are asking those of you who are able to contribute to our discretionary fund.  Please give as generously as you are able. Our discretionary fund currently has $2,000.  In order to meet a variety of needs, we hope that balance will increase with your generous donations. 

Donate

Requests to our Discretionary Fund: If you are experiencing any financial distress during this time, please get in touch with us. Any requests to us are strictly confidential.

We also want to thank everyone who is still able to give their contributions online via Realm.  We appreciate your continued commitment to Holy Apostles during this time.  If you would like to switch to online giving, please let us know and we can help you set that up or you can contribute HERE.

We are so grateful for this community especially during this time and we hope that we are able to help each other out as much as possible.

In gratitude with love,

The Mothers
