Stapleton UAME Church

It will always be home for me…

Absolutely amazing place with amazing individuals running it. They have people head out doing volunteer work in the St George community on Monday evenings, around 615pm sometimes around 7pm, they park in between the Richmond hotel and project hospitality and hand out brown bag dinners, in these brutal cold winter months, when they can, when resources allot, they hand out socks, shaving utilities, shampoos, deodorants, soaps, other shower utilities, blankets, jackets, gloves, hand and foot warmers. On cold nights they've served hot chocolate. That's not all, on Tuesdays and Fridays they have a food pantry around 11am, and on Fridays In connection with Community Health Action of Staten Island, upstairs, on location, from 11am to 12pm they hold a Harm Reduction group, which is a mixture most weeks of addicts both in recovery, and still sick and suffering, to help them with safer practices to provide them resources to partake in less risk for themselves, their health, and the community as a whole. Amazing group of people here.

It's a great place they are kind and have a very good pantry

As a young person its difficult finding a church home. The first time i went I felt welcomed in immediately. The pastor is so in tuned with everything. Every time she preaches i always feel like shes talking specifically to me. The church members and Maggie help out alot in the community. In return they are loved by the ppl in it. The soup kitchen is amazing they feed so many ppl. The vistors arent treated as number, they get greeted individually by name like humans that they are. Now the pantry is a whole other subject. So much food comes in and is given out just as fast. This church feeds so many ppl. It fascinating how its such a small church and it makes a huge contribution in the community. Humanity still exist and faith still drives. 🙏
