Our Partners
Making God’s Love Visible
In our commitment to loving and serving our neighbors, both near and far, there are KPC activities aimed at supporting mission work locally and beyond.
Foremost among these is the Presbyterian Women led annual Rummage Sale. Net revenues fund organizations serving charitable financial needs and advocating for social justice. The sale also benefits the local community by offering needed clothing and household items at a very low cost.
This effort involves the entire church and the community and is a tangible representation of our commitment to our Partners.
Exodus Transitional Community
Helping people build rebuild and thrive
In March of 1999, just three years after returning home, Julio Medina founded Exodus Transitional Community with the help of one volunteer and a generous donation by our founding supporters, Frank and Lisina Hoch. Since then, we have grown from a one-room office at the Church of the Living Hope on East 104th Street, donated by the late Reverend Dr. Lonnie McLeod, to a multi-location justice organization serving over 3,000 New Yorkers every year.
Though grounded in our re-entry programs, Exodus Transitional Community offers a broad spectrum of services for adults and youth affected by the justice system, and we are proud to lead the policy and advocacy efforts that promote positive change in our communities. Whether through direct service or service referrals, our mission is to ensure our participants not only become contributing members of society but also that we meet as many of their daily needs as possible to ensure they succeed and live well.

The mission of Grace Smith House, Inc. is to enable individuals and families to live free from domestic violence by providing shelter and apartments, advocacy, counseling and education by raising the consciousness of the community regarding the extent, type and seriousness of domestic violence. They initiate and take positions on public policies in order to provide options which empower victims of domestic violence.
Holmes Camp
Holmes is the outdoor Christian education and retreat facility of the Presbyteries of Hudson River, Long Island and New York City of the Presbyterian Church (USA) within the Synod of the Northeast, representing nearly 260 congregations and 55,000 members in the metropolitan New York area.
Hudson Link
Holistic program structure follows each student from pre to post-release, providing alumni with a variety of reentry supports to reduce recidivism, restore families, and rebuild communities. Hudson Link’s pipeline model provides services from the time a student is incarcerated, through transition, to reentry.
Westchester Christmas Dinner
On a cold and rainy Christmas morning, our team of local volunteers brought Christmas to the doorsteps of 235 Westchester families and people living alone. Nearly 50 volunteer shoppers headed out to area stores and purchased new clothing, toys and gifts. Village Social in Mt. Kisco prepared delicious Christmas meals. And over 70 cars, many filled with entire families, delivered it all to selected recipients throughout Northern Westchester. Generous financial support from our community made it all possible. Our sincere thanks to everyone who had a role in this all-volunteer community project!
