Christ Tabernacle Church and Oneness Rehoboth Church each stepped forward to provide vital support to the victims of the 30 Cottage Fire, delivering over 200 hot meals to those affected. The victims are currently being sheltered at Holmes School, where they are in a warm and safe environment.
Both churches reached out to Judy Williams-Davis with a desire to get involved and help.
Sade Ritter, the project coordinator and nutritionist, expressed her gratitude, noting that weekends are especially challenging for the displaced population.
“Two weekend deliveries of hot meals were arranged. Their meals were delivered and served, and they were most appreciated,” she said.
A 5-alarm fire tore through the Mount Vernon apartment complex, displacing all 250 residents, on Sunday, November 23, 2025.
Although the community has responded with overwhelming generosity, a warm meal when you have no way of preparing food for your family is always welcome. The efforts of CHRIST Tabernacle Church and Oneness Rehoboth Church have brought comfort and relief to those who need it most.
Pastor Rev. Michael Basedo of Christ Tabernacle Church and Rev. Arthur Thomas of Oneness Rehoboth Church are to be commended for their generosity and commitment to their community. By extending themselves to serve wherever needed, they exemplify the mission of their churches: to uplift, care for, and provide for those in need.
For those interested in offering additional support, please contact Sade Ritter at 914-665-2446 for more information.
