Getting Involved

What we have been able to do, through help of volunteers

Because of your prayers and practical help this past year we were able to expand to a six (6) day feeding operation, producing over 63,000 meals served during the 2009 year. We distribute gleaned food items to over 30+ groups/agencies in the Greater Glens Falls area and to hundreds of individuals in the outlying areas of Greater Glens Falls (targeting individuals and families that are in great need and are not currently receiving other assistance or services). Thank you to all who provided food and finances so we could together help others.

Currently, The Open Door only employs the Director, his assistant, and the Head Cook. All other work is completed through the generosity of our network of hundreds of volunteers. We are truly grateful for the willingness of people to serve!

Linda, our Master Chef!

There are a variety of ways to get involved.

Volunteer Your Time

The Open Door is always looking for volunteers to help with cleaning, cooking, encouraging, driving and prayer support. Also, there is always a use for food, cleaning supplies, disposable dishes/utensils, and the like.

If you have spare time or resources, and are interested in helping your community through service at The Open Door, please contact us.

Make a Donation

As a not-for-profit organization, the Open Door does not have a regular income.

Since, however, we do have regular bills (including rent, utilities, food, etc.), any amount of financial contribution you are able to make would be greatly appreciated. Please note that all contributions are tax-deductible.

If you have any further questions regarding this topic, please feel free to contact Chaplain Bruce Hersey or Marybeth Mitcham.
