Let Your Light Shine
When we let our Light shine - and live in our faith we believe we will taste the happiness that comes from it. To taste the joy that comes from it. We will be able to feel and see the good that comes from it. This is a moral end.
When we choose to live in the light of Christ we facilitate "good". A way that facilitates the greater good for your life, your neighbor’s life, for the community and the city.
Waterfront Community invites you to do good with us … to Shine with us.
Throughout the Year , we will be holding "Let Your Light Shine" activities around the Waterfront for you and your neighbors.
Activities that build your Faith and create community. Join us.
Begin by joining a faith group.
Be a Kid! Sing Along. Sing out Strong!
Small Change . Amazing Results.
We pass the communal purse each week in our gathering and ask folks to offer whatever little loose change they may have jingling in their pockets . A penny here. A nickel there. A quarter here. three dimes there. It all adds up. Now we have enough money saved to buy a goat for a family living in poverty somewhere in the world. The goats milk will allow the family to sell its milk for money which in turn will allow them to buy more goats and feed their family. Somewhere out there someone lives because of loose change. Amazing. God's Work. Our Hands
Shine the Light on Hunger
An analysis of monthly client totals from emergency pantries served by the Community FoodBank of NJ shows a 20 percent increase this year in the number of people seeking food assistance. Some agencies in especially hard-hit areas report a 30 percent spike in need. Similar data is being seen at food banks all over the country.

Waterfront Community is collecting food bags to drop off at soup kitchens and pantries throughout Hudson County. Each week our members distribute empty bags to area residents and request they fill a bag with groceries.
