New Paltz Rotary Backpack Program
For 10 years, members of the New Paltz Rotary Club committed themselves to ensuring students in the New Paltz Central School District (NPSCD) don’t go hungry on weekends when other resources are scarce, by launching a “Backpack Program.” Coordinating with the District’s Guidance Office staff, Rotary volunteers pack the backpacks with food. The District transportation department picks up the food and distributes them to each of the four NPCSD school buildings where they are then discreetly distributed to roughly 70 families every Friday afternoon through the school district’s social workers. Visit the Rotary for more information about their giving efforts. https://newpaltzrotary.com

Summer Food Program
Nani Boutachka and Kathy Weiss from the United Methodist Church have partnered with Family of New Paltz to fill a need that is near to our hearts. During the school year, children with food insecurities have access to free and reduced breakfast and lunch. Backpacks full of easy to prepare food are sent home on the weekends, but holidays and the summer moths leave these children hungry. This past summer, we helped by donating enough money to feed 45 families for an entire month. And together with local girls scouts, we packed bags of food for distribution.

We look forward to providing them with monetary donations for their well used services. This year we provided industrial transport carts to Helping Hands.
