DISCLAIMER

Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We are self supporting and we do NOT receive any government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.

This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters . At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.

If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone. Tell the receiver your situation and what you need. They will give you information specific for the location you are currently in plus any referrals you may need. They have the most up to the minute information for your specific area. Dialing “211” will get you help and much more info than this office can provide. Homeless to Independence wants you to have all the information you need to get through the situation you are in.

Don’t have a land-line telephone??? Go to your local police department, library, or house of worship and ask to use their land-line telephone. They may even make the call on your behalf.

Welcome to the Green Book Online! – 311

Dear Friends:

For nearly a century, the Green Book has kept New Yorkers informed about the agencies, offices, boards, and commissions that keep our dynamic City running. This year, to complement the traditional printed edition, we are proud to publish the first truly “green” Green Book-a searchable, up-to-date City directory in digital form.

Enhancing our government’s online presence and providing real-time information to New Yorkers is a central goal of our Road Map for the Digital City, a report we released last year. Innovative customer-service initiatives, such as 311 Online, have already made more government information more accessible, allowing New Yorkers to get City news faster and easier than ever before. The digital Green Book is another tool New Yorkers can use to more easily interact with government, and more easily find the information and resources they need.

In our ever-more interconnected world, information technology has become essential to civic engagement. It has transformed how New Yorkers share ideas with one another, with elected officials, and with people across the globe. We are determined to provide the most responsive, most sustainable, and most forward-thinking government possible. This directory is the latest example of our commitment to that goal, and I invite you to use the new Green Book-in its digital form, which is available at nyc.gov

Sincerely,

Mayor

Food Pantry
By Nicholas Fedele

Especially during difficult economic times like we’ve had for the past couple of years, the Food Pantry Ministry
plays an important role at Believers’ Chapel. “The vision for the Food Pantry is to see that those who are going
through a difficult time receive provision while they’re working to get back on their feet,” explains Colleen
LaValle who’s in charge of the Food Pantry.
It serves families, from the Chapel and community, on Wednesdays and Thursdays who have a need due to
financial hardship. This season the Food Pantry is coordinating with School Daze (backpacks and school
supplies for children who need the help).
Another part of Food Pantry Ministry is the Bread Ministry — serving 20 to 30 people every week who come in on
Wednesdays and Thursdays for bread and baked goods that are given away for free. They’re provided by
Panera Bread stores.
The Food Pantry ministry is also involved in another outreach to the community. The Food Pantry evangelism
team is beginning to look at ways to help the community to hear the gospel, as well as receive food and bread.
“Every other week we take bread to Pitcher Hill apartments for the residents there, and they have asked for a
Bible study,” Colleen notes.
Support the Food Pantry by buying one or two things to donate to the pantry when you’re grocery shopping.
Also, please keep an eye out in the bulletin for special items that are needed. Of course if you are led, you
could donate your time and serve in the Food Pantry Ministry, too.
If you or someone you know needs help, call Colleen La Valle at the Chapel at 699-4140.

Believers Chapel
