Food is life. Just as all human beings have a right to life, which is inherent and sacred,they also have a right to food - the fuel of life. A just and merciful society is morally obligated to ensure that all of its members are fed. When some among us go hungry, regardless of the cause, their suffering is a stain on the fabric of our community.Whether in New York or elsewhere in the world, hunger rarely occurs because there is simply not enough food; rather, hunger occurs because families and individuals cannot afford to buy the food. The roots of new York's hunger problem are embedded in the plots of poverty amidst our pastures of plenty.
All food will be donated to food pantries in the Town of Mamakating. Donations can be dropped off at the Town of Mamakating.
