Good afternoon, everybody – Today we served a total of 27 families, including 56 adults, 35 children and 13 seniors.
Our resident techie, Barbara M. has put up a request for donations, both edible and monetary, on several different Facebook pages throughout the Rivertowns, and you should see the response! People in Manhattan donated! Don’t know how Barbara does it, but thank you. We needed this! And we still need donations, so please keep it up, folks.
As soon as I can get to it, you’ll be seeing a bin at Stop & Shop, asking people to buy something extra and leave it in the bin for us. The sign will have suggested items that we give out all the time. Many of us shop there, so hopefully the bin will fill up quickly.
I got a notice that Dobbs Ferry’s Ferry Festa is scheduled for Saturday, October 6. We’re thinking of having a table for the first time, similar to the one we sometimes occupy at the Irvington Farmers’ Market. Mark that date on your calendar because people have a wonderful time that day. Let’s hope the weather cooperates!
