April was quite the rainy month. But you know what they say, April showers bring May flowers! During the month of April, we provided food and essential personal items in 64 different cases helping families and individuals in need. Our food pantry is open Monday through Friday from 9-3. If you or someone you know is in need of food, please give us a call to schedule a pick up.
100 Envelope Fundraising Challenge
Welcome to our 100 Envelope Challenge! The process is quite simple. Choose a number on our envelope board and that is the dollar amount of your donation. You can mail it in, bring it by and say “Hi,” or donate via PayPal on our website, www.fsaglensfalls.org. Members of our Board of Directors are also distributing envelopes to be filled. Double Dipping is encouraged! When all of the envelopes are returned, you will have helped us raise $5050 to provide assistance and hope to our families and individuals in need. We’ve already raised $792 towards our goal thanks to your support! Check out our Facebook page for updates on our progress to fill all 100 envelopes.

Outdoor Fridays is back! The first date was held at the end of April and was a success. We will continue holding this event every Friday starting at 10 am, weather permitting, throughout the summer. Clothing, produce, household items, and information on services will be available at no charge.
Please note: parking for Outdoor Fridays is only available on the street in front of our building. Please DO NOT park in the neighbor’s lot.
