Local Agencies and The Abbey of the Genessee Unite Together To Bless Community

By Robin Walters

Who loves Monk bread? The bread is made by the monks at The Abbey of the Genesee http://geneseeabbey.org/. They are very generous and donate to local organizations. They donate to the Salvation army in Rochester which in turns delivers to the Salvation Army here in Batavia.

Captain Bob Kurtz of the Salvation Army here in Batavia  was very generous and donated bread to Care-A-Van Ministries. Care-A-Van was at Northside Meadows for Saturday morning grocery distribution where 27 families with 91 family members received the delicious bread. When Care-A-Van was done there, they stopped by and blessed the residents of 400 Towers with the delicous bread. Isn't it amazing to know to see how the hard work and efforts of the monks, bless those in communities that surround their Abbey.  It is awesome to see how local agencies come together to serve those in the community. Captain Bob also donates his time with Care-A-Van every Thursday for morning ministry. Thank you to the Abbey for their generosity. If you have never been there, take a drive sometime.

Their facility and grounds are beatuiful and the fresh bread can be bought right there in their store.
