Albanian & American Open Hand Association Inc.
The goal of our program is to provide regular food and nutritional supplies to food insecure individuals and families in the area of the city that we service, both by food pantry days of operation at the pantry where people will come and take prepared groceries provided by our partnering food bank, as well as delivery of groceries to those who are less capable of travel. We also provide printed copies of government pamphlets on a range of services that the clients we service may not be aware are available to them, and in some cases assist those men and women in understanding these pamphlets, applications, and where legal and competent to do so (and within the scope of our operations) assist in filling out forms to better help the community to receive services that might help them to benefits that might reduce their need to our Food Pantry service. We do these services in such a way that is in keeping with the Human Dignity of each person that we come to the aid of, as all are children of God.

Community at the Crossing
The Community at the Crossing is an ecumenical program for spiritual formation in the heart of New York City. It is for any Christian between 21-33 years old, from all church backgrounds, and anywhere in the US. Members spend a year in prayer and discernment, biblical and theological formation, intentional community, service, and mission, and choose as their sisters and brothers people who are radically different from themselves. We believe that being ‘interrupted by God’ is the best thing that can happen to anyone. We believe as Christians that there is far more that unites us than divides us and that our world is in desperate need of people who can model true unity, which is born from reconciliation, truth, and the humility of shared life. The program is a joint venture between the Episcopal Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine and the Chemin Neuf Community, a Roman Catholic community with an ecumenical vocation.

Episcopal Service Corps (ESC)
Leadership An ESC Year is not just another internship. Through placements like those listed above, our Corps members can apply their passion, talent, and creativity in meaningful placements dedicated to building a just society while also honing their professional skills to prepare for whatever is next. Community Building Young adults serving through ESC come from all over the world and all walks of life. What they have in common is their commitment to making a difference. For ESC, living together in intentional community means that Corps members commit to a year of growing, laughing, crying, playing, and supporting one another whether doing the dishes, in weekly house meetings, or on retreat. Personal Growth Throughout the year, every Corps member is surrounded by mentors and leaders dedicated to providing opportunities for Corps members to dig deep into issues that matter to them. In addition, joining ESC means that we take care of basic living expenses so our Corps can focus on transformation.
