🙏❤️ $40K of Blessings Shared w/ Our Community ❤️🙏

A heartfelt THANKS to St. Mary’s Redbank Church for donating over $40,000 worth of meat/freezers to support families across the New Bethlehem area & Redbank Valley. 🥩❄️✝️

Special thanks to Corry Clark, Ron Grimes, Bradley Bowser, Matthew Green, and Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows (Pastor of St. Mary’s Redbank Church & Mayor of New Bethlehem) for delivering these blessings to local churches & community organizations, including New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church, New Salem Pierce Church, New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Company, Redbank Valley Food Pantry, and the Southern Clarion Police Association. 🙌🚚

The Southern Clarion Regional Police Department will also soon deliver freezers, meat, and a washing machine to the Just for Jesus Homeless Shelter in Brockport, which serves our area. ❤️🏠

These donations will help churches & nonprofits host fundraisers & support families in need. Through the partnership of St. Mary’s Redbank Church & 11 Oaks Farms, God’s love is being shared in practical, powerful ways. “Give, and it will be given to you.” (Luke 6:38) 🌟
