Cynthia Garris Ministries is proud to present our first Capital Region Christmas Dinner giveaway!
In previous years, we’ve hosted dinner giveaways during the holiday season. As we relocated last year, and took the year to get ourselves established here in the Capital Region, we’re now ready to being hosting events, and bringing the community together. CGM was based in Buffalo, NY for over ten years as a sector of International Church For All People. We worked feverishly to serve the community and beyond. Reaching all the way to Kisi Kenya, we held food and supplies drives, and were able to send countless boxes of supplies to feed the hungry, orphans, and many in the area. We also sent school supplies, Bibles, and literature.
This year, CGM will be serving the needy and those who may otherwise go hungry during this holiday season. We will be giving away bag of food with everything you’ll need to prepare a Christmas meal; ie turkey, canned veggies, etc.Recipients will need to pick up their bag from the Crossgates Mall (more details coming soon) during a specified time slot.
Time: 6:00PM-7:30PM
Location: Crossgates Mall (1 Crossgates Mall Rd, Albany NY, 12203)
