If you would like to make donations of food, supplies, volunteer to make home cooked healthy meals or help to serve one day a week or month, please contact Jeanne Edwards at: 845-224-9262
From the Kingston Times:
“Food for Thought provides a free, hot nutritious meal for kids every Friday night at the center. The food is donated by restaurants, organizations and individuals. Dedicated volunteers oversee the delivery, serving and cleanup.
“It’s for the kids,” explained Benyetta Bryant…. “If we’re not here, they don’t have a place. I volunteer a couple of hours a day so they can be here, not on the street.”
Besides food donations, the volunteers are the other essential component of Food for Thought. Hospitality coordinators Jean Jacobs and Ellen DiFalco pick up and deliver the food, as well as help with the serving and clean up. Other regulars are Woerner, Anthony Watson, a recruiter specialist at the NAACP, and several interns: SUNY Ulster students Bryant and Thomas, Post, who has earned his GED, and Kingston High School student Syndi Alonso.”
Food for Thought is entirely dependent on community support – please volunteer a few hours on a Friday night, help plan a special activity or a donation of food. Contact Jeanne Edwards at (845) 224-9262.
The Rewards for Excellence Programs meets every Friday evening at the Everette Hodge Mid-town Community Center from 6-9:30pm. Volunteers are needed to work with mid-town youth teaching computer skills, life skills, leadership & interview skills, cooking and more. Guest speakers welcome.
