Welcome Kathy Moore,
NEW FOCUS COMPTROLLER

Kathleen (Kathy) Moore is the new Comptroller for FOCUS.  
A long-time member of Emmanuel Baptist, she is their current Expense Treasurer, a position she has held since 2010. 
A scientist (not an accountant!) by training, Kathy operates a consulting business in renewable energy meteorology, a business she started in  2000.  "We help people figure out where there is enough sunshine or wind to build a solar or wind energy plant.  Not coincidentally, 2000 was  also the year I started working at the FOCUS Breakfast Program, as a server; I became the Wednesday dishwasher the following year."  Kathy lives in Berne with her spouse, Judy Henningson, who is also Director of Food Programs for FOCUS. "It is humbling to take on the Comptroller’s job after someone as competent and meticulous as Richard Moneymaker. My aim is to maintain  transparency and accuracy in reporting, with the overall goal of supporting the missions of FOCUS."  
"The board is deeply grateful for the faithful service of Richard Moneymaker over the past 12 years. We look forward to  working with Kathy Moore and are excited to have such a qualified volunteer to continue the work." - Jeff Matthews,  President, FOCUS Board of Directors

The Annual Service of Remembrance,
January 30th. 
led by FOCUS Breakfast Pastor, Mike Asbury

On a cold winter morning, members of the FOCUS Churches staff and volunteers, members of the Albany Police Department, Homeless and Travelers Aid, the City Mission, guests of the Breakfast Club and a family member of one of the deceased gathered together to recall the memories of the 17 beloved persons connected to the various circles of love and service for the homeless and impoverished in our community.
Thank you to all of the men and women who work to improve the lives of some of our community's most fragile neighbors. Your compassion is felt deeply by many.  

The FOCUS feeding programs – FOCUS Interfaith Food Pantry, Breakfast Express, and FOCUS Winter Breakfast – are our primary efforts in an endeavor to help those in need by providing our community with good, nutritious food and hospitality. Along with food, FOCUS is intentional in balancing labors of charity with acts of justice by participating in the work of seeking long term solutions to end hunger and poverty.
