On Tuesday, November 18, more than one hundred mountaintop friends and families entered the beautifully festive United Methodist Church in Tannersville for the annual Mountaintop Interfaith Community Thanksgiving Service.
Faith leaders from across the mountaintop came together to continue this cherished tradition—where service and neighbors helping neighbors remain guiding principles. During the service, annual offerings were collected to support the mission and operations of our nonprofit organization, Mountain Top Cares Coalition (MCC).
Thanks to the generosity of those in attendance, over $3,600 was donated this year!
We are deeply moved by the size and spirit of this contribution. We will use these funds wisely—reflecting our gratitude to the neighbors who continuously step up to support recovery and hope in our community. The donations will help cover operational costs, staffing, training, and direct services for those in need.
Founded in 2017 as a grassroots volunteer effort responding to the growing substance use crisis on the mountaintop, Mountain Top Cares Coalition is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Haines Falls, with an excellent Executive Director, a trained staff and an experienced Board of Directors. We are committed to building a community where everyone seeking recovery has access to high-quality care and the resources they need to thrive.
The need is real—and it is urgent:
In recent years, the opioid death rate in Greene County has more than doubled the upstate NY average.
Rural counties are seeing overdose rates rise three times faster than urban areas.
1 in 7 Americans struggle with addiction—a crisis touching every community.
In response, Mountain Top Cares now supports approximately 150 individuals each year who are battling alcohol and substance use disorders—a number that continues to grow annually.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to the Mountaintop Interfaith Community, to everyone who attended, and to every neighbor who believes in recovery and hope. Together, we are building a community where healing is possible to.
