What is Hands4NY?
How does it work?

Hunger is on the rise in Upstate New York. Nearly 15% of people living in Upstate New York do not have enough food to meet their needs. The face of hunger is growing and changing. Did you know that last year Upper New York food banks served more children and senior citizens than ever before? Neighbors around us are going hungry and need our help.

• What if together we took one year to address hunger issues in our communities, joined not by buildings, places or programs, but by heartfelt compassion for all of God’s children who are suffering from hunger?
• What if we did our own thing in our own way - in our own community, but joined our hearts in one effort?
• And what if on one day we invited the community to partner with us, shoulder to shoulder, in our fight against hunger?

We would be the church mobilized.  We would be God’s hands and feet, gathered together in one accord to impact hunger.
