POTS Thanksgiving  and Christmas Feasts

POTS is an organization that provides food and a community lifeline to people in the Bronx. POTS believes that every person should have access to the essentials of life and the support necessary to achieve stability and ultimately self-sufficiency.  

Ever since 1982, when Fr. Ned Murphy, S.J. came to Resurrection asking for help to fund a soup kitchen in the Bronx, our parish has had a very special relationship with POTS. The money raised by Resurrection in 1986 enabled Fr. Ned to buy a building to house a soup kitchen and homeless shelter.

For over 30 years, every Thanksgiving and Christmas, members of Resurrection parish join the people at POTS to provide a holiday feast for over 800 people at Our Lady of Refuge Grammar School in the Bronx. Our parishioners donate all the food, prepare it, serve it and clean up after the meal.

The POTS Thanksgiving and Christmas Feasts are very special and rewarding events for our parish. In order for the events to run smoothly, it is very important that our Parishioners sign up online for food donations and work shifts as early as possible.  We need to make sure we have enough food and volunteer coverage to feed the hundreds of grateful people who look forward to these lovingly prepared and served holiday meals.
