 Over 300 people were able to enjoy a bountiful breakfast this past Saturday thanks to faithful volunteers from General Electric.  This meal set a new attendance record for Saturday morning breakfasts.

“Thank you” to over 20 employees of Empire Blue Cross in Albany, NY who joined City Mission for a Community Service Day.  Projects included: painting, gardening and light assembly work.
