Support FPCP's Capital Campaign: What's Cooking in Our Kitchen?

All donations to our Capital Campaign are greatly appreciated,
and tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Thank you!
A Critical Project with Community Impact 
Our church kitchen is really a COMMUNITY KITCHEN. It is used nearly every day of the week, year-round, to support food preparation activities for important mission and outreach programs including: the Philipstown Food Pantry; the Community Nursery School; PAPA (Peekskill Area Pastors' Association) soup-kitchen meals; and our Midnight Run mission to the hungry and homeless. Our kitchen is also used regularly by local community groups including scout troops, support groups, arts organizations, and community activists. As a congregation, we use our kitchen every week for coffee hours after the Sunday service; for potlucks and other festive meals; and for celebrations of weddings, baptisms, and many other milestones in the lives of so many friends and neighbors in our congregation and community.

The Work to be Done
​Our goal is to raise $50,000, in order to make the following critical improvements to our community kitchen:
  • Replacement of 40-year-old old metal cabinets with sturdy new wood cabinets
  • New roll-out shelving for the Philipstown Food Pantry's cabinets
  • New flooring to replace 40-year-old linoleum
  • Essential improvements and repairs to the fire door
  • New appliances, especially a dishwasher and stove
  • Upgrades/repairs to existing stainless steel counters and work station/island surfaces
  • New sink fixtures and backsplash
  • Upgrades to the ceiling lighting
  • Painting ceiling and walls​

We plan to start renovating in June 2019, just a few short months from now. That's why we have launched "What's Cooking in Our Kitchen?" -- a fundraising campaign to support essential improvements to our COMMUNITY kitchen! And YOU can help!
