Church to host seventh annual Great Fall Giveaway
Event set for Nov. 3 at New Life Fellowship Church
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> The Great Fall Giveaway is back for 2018, and New Life Fellowship Church is once again giving out free winter clothing and lots more to event-goers.
The seventh annual Great Fall Giveaway is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 3 at New Life Fellowship Church, located at 51 Old Gick Rd. in Saratoga Springs.
This year’s festival will feature free winter clothing for all ages, children’s toys, kids crafts and activities and breakfast sandwiches for attendees.
“Every fall for the last seven years New Life Fellowship Church has put on their Great Fall Giveaway,” said associate pastor Cory Prothero, who is involved in the organization’s outreach initiatives. “This event is essentially a serving day for the people in our church. It is a way for us to come together to bless and serve the community around us. We do a free winter clothing and toy giveaway along with serving amazing
breakfast sandwiches. We also send out teams of leaf rakers into the surrounding neighborhoods to help people clean up their yards for winter.”
The church does this big outreach effort not just once, but twice each year.
“In the spring we do a similar event called ‘Love Saratoga’ which has a much bigger festival and family component,” Prothero continued. “New Life Fellowship Church believes the essence of what a church should be is to love and serve those in the surrounding community.”
With the cold winter months and the holiday season ahead, the Great Fall Giveaway is a way to celebrate autumn while spreading love within the community.
