Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
It is finally spring, my favorite season of the year! I just love
the fresh, warm (ish) weather, more sun, the smell of a freshly cut
lawn and seeing the many colors of spring blooms.
At this time, I will be signing up as volunteers for the months of
July, August and September. This is a little earlier than usual
because of summer vacation. If you are a current volunteer or a
volunteer that has already sent in an application but haven’t
started yet, please reply to this email with dates you CANNOT work
and I will respond to you.
Last month we discussed food insecurity, which isn’t just about
having enough food, but its also about the quality of the food.
This month, along with Cherie Evans, (board member but not related)
I attended the Foodlink annual conference. We learned about new
numbers and the increase in households that need emergency food
assistance.
There has been a 44% increase in NY state of households living with
food insecurity yet there has been a 4% decrease in funding.
1 in 10 households have insufficient food in the home.
1 in 8 households have children that reside there.
1 in 3 households are low income working individuals.
82% of households cannot afford fresh produce.
58% of households rely on food pantries.
50% of households have a head of household that skips meals for
their children.
All this being said, and I say this often, we couldn’t do what we do
without the assistance and generosity of all of you. Thank you so
much, we are truly about “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.”
Sincerely,
Debbie Evans, Founder and
