Gathering of Light's Missions & Community Projects
Local, Meaningful Missions that Truly Make a Difference...
We can do even more with your help!
S.T.A.R.T.E.R. Packs...Our Most Important Community Service Mission
Staple Tools And Resources To Ease Relocation: When other local agencies rehome the homeless, they are still without the pots, dishes, utensils, bed linens, towels, can opener, and other items needed to make a new home.
Our dedicated team gathers designated contributions, corporate donations and gently used items -- there's quite a list! -- and as the local social service agencies call, we step up to meet the challenge, packing and delivering whatever that size family will need to begin again.
We definitely need helpers and donors for this extraordinary Mission-Project.
Community Garden & Food Bank
Every Spring, we start our Community Garden to one side of the parking lot where a dedicated team of coordinated volunteers share their time and expertise to keep it bountiful with fresh produce throughout the growing season.
We then donate this food to Island Harvest, where it gets shared with hungry people throughout the local area. Nothing goes to waste!
And the blooms from our flower garden decorate the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall before being given away to those who serve or need some cheer!
Brightening the Holidays of Underserved Children
We work in tandem with local schools who share parent-requests for their kids in greatest need. We then accept private and corporate donations to purchase requested gifts and warm clothing for these children as well as provide a really fun Winter Holiday party for them.
For those who cannot attend, we deliver the gifts in person. For such children, these may be the only gifts they will receive.
We also host a similar Spring Fling for underserved children. Frolicking on the lawn playing games, dancing, and hunting for eggs is accompanied by a tasty feast.
Community Remembrance -Memorial Service...ALL Welcome!
On the last Saturday in October, when the Veil between Worlds is said to be at its thinnest, you and everyone in the Long Island area are invited to join us at a special Memorial Service for all our precious loved ones who passed away in the preceding year(s).
There may be tears...refound joy in the life shared...and much comfort to be felt during our Remembrance Ceremony.
All are genuinely welcome to experience this special community event.
