The Queens Galley still provides food for all in need even during the summer months! Our regular volunteers go on vacation and every so often we run into folks who say they have “meant” to volunteer but didnt get around to it.
Summer is a critical time for families with children. Kids who normally have access to free and reduced price lunch at school do not have that luxury at home. When Food Stamps run out and families have exhausted the visits permitted to the food pantries we are literally the ONLY resource for some families for food at the end of a month.
We desperately need funds and volunteers to get us through the summer. We desperately need funds to get us through NEXT WEEK.
Please, write a check or drop off a donation of food and perhaps decide to stay for an hour to pitch in and help keep us going.
I don’t send posts like this often. I only “ring your bell” when we are truly in need or have something critically important.
We need your help. We need you to let others know how they can help.
Without you we cannot continue to make sure healthy chef prepared meals that are served to anyone who hungers so they can dine with dignity. Without you we can’t teach kids how to make healthier food choices from food pantry basics. Without you we can’t continue to connect seniors and families to farmers markets to use food stamp benefits, without you we can’t survive.
9,000 meals a month. Every day new faces come in but more striking is the fact that every day we have regular faces. People who depend on us EVERY day for food because there is no place else to go.
Ulster County does not have a single summer food program for kids. We are the closest thing to a summer dinner program in our ENTIRE county.
We need your help!! Please send invitations to join our FB cause to your friends, add a personal message and encourage them to donate.
Without your help our doors will close.
I’m not being melodramatic, I am coming to you with a genuine fear and concern…and plea for your help.
How ironic it would be to see that new stove arrive next week only to have it sit there because we lack the funds to stay open.
Help us keep cooking? Thank you!
