FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Doing our part to end hunger on New York City streets.

Our mission is to provide a supermarket style environment where people are empowered to make selections based on their family needs.

We provide food and clothing to well over 150 individuals and families on a weekly basis. The food assistance program also serves as an emergency food program for those in immediate need and those who have experienced temporary setbacks.

We accept donations such as food, new or gently used shoes and clothing, toiletries and other personal care items.

Please contact the food assistance program if you or someone you know is in need of our services, would like to make a donation or desires to volunteer. You can reach the food assistance program through the following options:

• Direct Line: 718-272-0303

• General Line: 718-306-1000 ext. 1325

• Stop by The CCC Annex at 1400 Linden Boulevard every Thursday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

PRISON MINISTRY

CCC's Prison Ministry was founded years ago as a vehicle to disciple and evangelize incarcerated men and women by teaching them how to live life by seeing it from God's point of view. Acknowledging that all prisons are not constructed with steel and mortar, but can also be created in the mind, these individuals are encouraged to take responsibility for their thoughts, words and actions. Although our prison Bible Studies have been concentrated in upstate New York, other penal institutions across the state are reached via correspondence.

ACTION PLAN FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Freshmen

In your first year of high school, college may seem far away but you will be surprised to see how quickly you advance to your senior year. If you get on the right track now, you'll be ahead of the game by graduation time.

• Make sure you are enrolled in challenging classes that will help you prepare for college
• Get involved with extracurricular activities in school and outside of school
• Attend college fairs in your area
• Learn about college costs and how financial aid work
• Sign up for college prep courses

Create a folder and keep all your high school grades, activities, and deadline information inside of it.

Sophomores

Most colleges prefer four years of English, history, math, science, and a foreign language. To help you prepare for the next two years and get you on the road to college, take a good look at all your classes and extracurricular courses this year.

Juniors

You'll have a busy year doing the following:

• Handling challenging schoolwork for classes
• Taking important exams (PSAT, SAT and ACT)
• Researching colleges (think of preferences, create a college campus checklist and visit colleges)
• Volunteering in your school and in the community to become well rounded

Seniors

Stay on track by getting organized.
