Mission
OUR FATHER'S ARMS WAS INCORPORATED IN 1998 AS THE OPERATING ORGANIZATION FOR THE SULLIVAN COUNTY EMERGENCY FOOD BANK (ESTABLISHED 1983) AND THE CLOTHES CLOSET (ESTABLISHED 1993). THE GOAL OF THE SULLIVAN COUNTY EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRY WAS TO PROVIDE FOOD TO SULLIVAN COUNTY FAMILIES IN NEED OF FOOD ASSISTANCE. THE MISSION OF OUR FATHER'S ARMS IS TO COORDINATE CHARITABLE WORK WITH OTHER PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE A COOPERATIVE EFFORT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE OF SULLIVAN COUNTY WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES THAT REQUIRE BASIC ASSISTANCE FOR LIVING. OUR FATHER'S ARMS HAS MAINTAINED THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF THE SULLIVAN COUNTY EMERGENCY FOOD BANK AND HOPES TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO SULLIVAN COUNTY FAMILIES IN THE FUTURE.
