Cathedral Community Cares currently operates and coordinates several different direct outreach service programs and advocacy campaigns all aimed at alleviating poverty by specifically targeting the issues of homelessness and hunger. CCC's approach is to simultaneously combat these problems on multiple fronts by addressing the immediate and beyond emergency needs of at-risk clients while also seeking long-term policy solutions that will benefit both clients and the greater community.

Every week, on Monday at 5:30pm and Thursday at 6:30pm, we will meet in front of the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine at W. 112th St. and Amsterdam Ave. In trying to promote physical fitness, these walks are free and everyone is welcome to join. There is no requirement to both days of the week but if people are interested they are more than welcome to join us for both! So, lace up those tennis shoes and come out to join us for a fun stroll through the neighborhood!
