Thanksgiving volunteers with Councilman Steve Levin
Special thanks to Councilman Steve Levin, who found time in his busy schedule to stop in and say hello. More photos will follow, but for now here’s one with some of the many volunteers and Councilman Levin.
And thanks to the Brooklyn Kitchen and Dan Delaney for making this great video about Thanksgiving at the soup kitchen.
Support the Kitchen & Pantry
November 24th, 2010 | UncategorizedThe Greenpoint Reformed Church Hunger Program provides no-cost groceries and a weekly hot meal to hungry people in Northern Brooklyn. It takes $6,000 per week to feed all these people. Much of the money comes from government food programs, but we still need $1,500 per week for additional food and things like utilities, building maintenance, volunteer coordination and overall administration.
We are able to buy food from the Food Bank of NYC for 10-18 cents a pound. For example, a case of 12 cans of Progresso soup costs $3.06 (almost $.25 per can) and box of Cheerios costs $.27.
