A Vision Taking Form?Blood & Bread The Commission on Human Services

As the BCCC Board of Directors met for one of its monthly Board Meetings, a work session took place and four commissions were formed.  One of these commissions is The Commission on Human Services.  The commission, chaired by Gloria Layne, will focus on one of Rev. Jackson?s goals to serve the community.  With over 350 Christian Churches in the Bergen County area, Rev. Jackson strongly feels that the food pantries of our County should never be empty.  One of the major projects of the Commission on Human Services is to develop a plan where by the Center for Food Action Pantry will never be empty.  One approach  under consideration is having the Church community rotate  hosting  a food drive for their town.  This will keep a constant source of food items flowing to the Center for Food.

A second project goal is to keep the blood supply full and thus eliminate blood crisis in our County.  By working with the Bergen Community Regional Blood Center, a plan will be developed to have on going blood drives at various Church locations throughout the region.  This project of Rev. Jackson?s and the Commission on Human Services is called:  Blood and Bread.

By working together, as a Christian Community, we can make this happen.
