Church donates books to Oak Orchard Health to support child wellness
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brockport is sharing its blessings by donating copies of the book What To Do When Your Child Gets Sick for use by Oak Orchard Health clients. St. Luke’s purchased the books, in both English and Spanish, to serve the diverse client population at the health center.
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Vestry voted to donate the cost for the books, making this valuable resource available for parents of young children, assisting them in making informed decisions on the health and well being of their family.
Oak Orchard Health’s Chief Medical Officer Jim Cummings and Director of Business and Fund Development Rhyn McDevitt were on hand to receive the books from Bill Plews, vestry member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.
“St. Luke’s has a long history of serving the people of the Village of Brockport and surrounding area. This gift to Oak Orchard Health is just one of the many ways our Parish seeks to serve our neighbors,” said Linda Kruchten-Merring, member of St. Luke’s vestry who initiated the book project, now in its second year.
St. Luke’s houses the Brockport Ecumenical Clothing Center, the Brockport Ecumenical Food Shelf, serves new moms in need through its North Porch program, and opens its “kitchen” door the second Sunday of each month, serving up a free meal to anyone who would like to join in for food, fellowship and fun through the church’s Harvest Kitchen. St. Luke’s also hosts local Girl and Boy Scout Troops and other non-profit groups.
