Huntington Lutheran Respite Center From the beginning of December through March, Gloria Dei hosts on Tuesday evenings up to 30 homeless men of our community overnight in Olson Hall. Besides shelter, we provide dinner and breakfast the next morning.
Joseph's Storehouse -- the Food Pantry at Gloria Dei Open Thursdays from 9:30-11:15 am and Saturdays from 11:00 am-1:00pm Joseph's Storehouse operated for eight years on Elwood Road in East Northport before moving to Gloria Dei in October 2018. A large and busy food pantry offers produce, meat and fish, refrigerated and frozen foods, baked goods, canned goods, etc. Affiliated with Long Island Cares and Island Harvest food banks, we offer “client choice shopping,” which means that clients may select their own food based on family needs and preferences. In 2018, the pantry served over 4,000 families and 15,000 individuals. Clothing and other household items are also sometimes available.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts Gloria Dei sponsors Boy Scout Troop 34 and Cub Scout Pack 406. The scouts are active in church outreach through our Food Pantry, neighborhood clean-ups, and any number of other service projects to benefit the community. We love our Scouts!
Narcotics & Overeaters Anonymous & Recovery Bible Study Three community recovery groups meet weekly at Gloria Dei.
Community Christmas Dinner For over thirty years, we’ve offered a free holiday meal, open to the public on Christmas day. In 2018, we served nearly 200 people a full turkey and ham dinner with all the trimmings!
