Members of the NYC Area recently conducted two Flu Vaccination Clinics, in partnership with Malteser International Americas, assisting guests of area emergency food providers.  75 flu shots were administered at the two clinics.   On October 19th, Area members and nursing volunteers were at St. Francis Breadline in Manhattan, signing up and administering flu shots to Breadline guests.  Area members also distributed to the guests gift bags containing winter hats, gloves and socks and a food gift card. On October 25th, the NYC Area and Malteser conducted another Flu Vaccination Clinic at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, in conjunction with the lunch service provided by the Ecumenical Outreach Partnership (a collaborative ministry of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and St. Thomas Church).  The NYC Area also provided gift bags to guests at this Clinic.  The Flu Vaccination Clinics are conducted annually by the NYC Area and members feel blessed to be able to provide this health service to vulnerable members of the community, advancing the Order’s mission of ministering to the poor and the sick.
