Dear Friends,
As you may know, when I am traveling around the country teaching and lecturing we ask the class and workshop participants to each bring in some canned foods and non-perishables to the venue to be collected for the local area food bank.
Because of the continuing economic slump and the high cost of housing, more people are going to local food banks and shelters for emergency food than ever before. Food Banks and Shelters depend greatly on the generosity of their neighbors in the community to keep food on the shelves of their food pantry.
During the month of December a would like to ask all of my friends in Staten Island, NY to do the same when you attend our classes or workshops. (December Class and Workshop Schedule)
We will be donating the collected food and other non-perishable to Project Hospitality of SI.
It is the mission of Project Hospitality, Inc. to reach out to community members who are hungry, homeless or otherwise in need in order to work with them to achieve their self-sufficiency — thereby enhancing the quality of life for our community.
Project Hospitality seeks to realize its mission both by advocating for those in need and by establishing a comprehensive continuum of care that begins with the provision of food, clothing and shelter and extends to other services which include health care, mental health, alcohol and substance abuse treatment, HIV care, education, vocational training, legal assistance, and transitional and permanent housing.
The types of items that are in greatest demand are:
- canned meats, fish and vegetables
- canned or dried fruits
- fruit or vegetable juices
- pasta and tomato sauce
- non-perishable milk
- cereals and rice
- canned or dried beans
- peanut butter and jelly
- coffee and tea
- baby foods and disposable diapers.
- No glass jars, please
