NYS Chaplain Task Force and Represent Church donate backpacks to students


| WFHS

The New York State Chaplain Task Force, in coordination with Represent Church, donated approximately 100 backpacks filled with supplies to students at the William Floyd Learning Center. Leaders from both organizations met recently to make the donation, aimed at assisting students and their families as they start the school year.

The New York State Chaplain Task Force is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that trains and maintains volunteer interfaith community crisis chaplains. These chaplains support individuals and cooperate with various agencies during both peaceful times and crises. The organization has over 6,000 members representing 11 major faith groups.

Represent Church is a new non-denominational church set to launch in the local community on October 6, 2024.

Special thanks were extended to both organizations for their generous donations.
