Feeding the Hungry
New Gosh participates with local mission teams feeding meals and collecting food for those in need. This includes the "1st Monday Meal" dinner where New Gosh members and volunteers from other local organizations prepare community meals for pickup.
Working with our community partners and Seven Sister congregations, New Gosh collects monetary donations for hunger mission causes and food donations distributed to those in need by the local food pantry at Open Link (click here for Open Link Food Pantry details).
