Helping Hands

We are proud to participate in a community effort to shelter and feed the homeless of Rockland County.  What better way to work toward social justice than to offer someone less fortunate a warm shower and a hot breakfast?  Thanks to all our staff and volunteers who quietly work to serve God by transporting and feeding these guests.

Why Stony Point Center?

  

This past year guests came from all over the world to experience our hospitality. Guests from New York City come because they feel like they are 'in the country' yet we're just 30 minutes from the George Washington Bridge.  Church groups come to grow their faith.  Activists come to refine theMary Romanoir purpose, rest and go back to the hard work of social change.  This past year, many new groups came to engage with members of the Community of Living Traditions.  All who come comment on the hospitality of our staff and volunteers.  Mary Romano is busy booking groups for 2012.  Contact her now to reserve your spot!  Call 845-786-5674 x101 or email Mary directly.
