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 travel to local churches to prepare and host community meals.
​
Working with our community partners, New Gosh collects food donations which are then distributed to those in need by the local food pantry at Open Link (click here for Open Link Food Pantry details).
​
New Gosh has also hosted an Older and Wiser Luncheon for community members 80 and over. A number of persons from local nursing homes join with our members to enjoy a day out, with food, fellowship, and entertainment.
