Community Outreach

We are so grateful to all who help our neighbors in need!

Imagine you couldn’t provide Thanksgiving or Christmas for your family. Sadly, this will be true for many local families this holiday season. Fortunately, Moriches Community Center and generous community businesses and folks like you can change that!

Last year, thanks to the enthusiastic help of students at Center Moriches Schools, and the financial generosity of local businesses, foundations, and community members who donated or adopted a child or family, MCC provided food, toys, clothing, or other items to 53 local families in need during the holidays! Best of all, a very generous anonymous donor matched contributions up to $20,000!

Every gift of time, talent or money contributed to the success of the 2020 “Santa’s Workshop” holiday community outreach program, and the families who received were so thankful for your kindness and caring.

The 2021 Holiday Outreach season has begun! Here are ways you can “Help someone today” and show you care:

• Make a secure donation at our website: www.morichescommunitycenter.org
• Donate nonperishable foods to the Center Moriches elementary and middle school food drives
• Mail a check or prepaid gift card to Moriches Community Center, PO Box 22, Center Moriches, NY 11934 to help our shoppers purchase Christmas wish list items for the families
• Adopt/sponsor a child or family’s wish list (email us to learn how at )
• Help Moriches Community Center shop for gifts, or wrap gifts for families on Dec. 18th
• Purchase Booster Blend coffee through our fundraising collaboration with Tend Coffee at the link here: https://morichescommunitycenter.org/product/tend-coffee/
