In the early 1980s, when congregations on the Upper East Side came together to form a community response to the growing homelessness epidemic (eventually coalescing into NCS), one of the first actions the group took was to run neighborhood meal programs, with each congregation choosing a different day to feed their neighbors in need. Forty years later, Temple Emanu-El still hosts lunch every Sunday.
David Oliver has been President of the NCS Board of Directors since 2008, but he began helping his neighbors long before then.
The Brick Presbyterian Church was a founding partner of NCS, and the church continues to support our work in many ways, including volunteering. Many Brick members of all ages participate in volunteer opportunities—and for the Froelichs, it’s a family affair!
Brinton Parson isn’t your average volunteer. Or Board Member. Or Director of Development.
