Amazing Grace Interfaith Ministry believes children are our future.  We focus on helping needy children as much as possible.  The AMAZING KIDS CONNECTION is a joint effort with St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Church and the Hindu Temple where children’s clothing is distributed the first Saturday of the month to needy children at Levy Park (on the corner of Castleton and Jewett across from the Bus Depot.)  The first Saturday in December, a Christmas Party with over 300 gifts has been donated for the last 4 years.

There is no funding for this program it is strictly a grass roots volunteer effort to provide assistance to these children.  High School Students who drive are welcome to volunteer to receive Community Service Credits. If you would like to volunteer to pick up, sort, or distribute the clothes please call: Rev. Mary Hansen or Rev. Dr. Jerylyn Jacob at (718) 356-6441 or email us at: AmazingGraceIF@aol.com 

Our ANNUAL BABY FOOD DRIVE for Project Hospitality Family Services is held from October until November.  Last year we collected over $2,000  in baby food, diapers, formula, etc.

We also have an ANNUAL TOY DRIVE for Safe Horizon for the last 9 years.  Last year we provided gifts for 167 children.

FEED THE HOMELESS.  Once a month 60 to 80 meals are provided to homeless men and women under the coordination of Rev. Ruth Dugan. She also collects Adult warm coats and pants.  If you wish to provide a meal or serve please contact her via e-mail.
