The City Closes Armory Until March 31
From March 16-March 31 the Mt. Vernon Armory will be closed. As you may or may not know, CSA shares and operates our facility at the Armory with the Office of the Aging (Senior Center). Seniors gather there daily, some of whom are also part of the 50+ guests who congregate at our meal program. A big part of our mission to help our neighbors is providing a social setting and the ability to sit down and enjoy a hot meal with others. Unfortunately due to the contagious nature of this virus, the adverse health conditions of our guests and the elderly, the City has made the decision to shut the Armory, therefore we will not be providing meals during this shut down period. Thank you to all the volunteers who have reached out to us to provide support during this time!
Until we get the green light to open, here is a list of some food distribution sites that are servicing Mount Vernon.
2020 Brings New Partnerships and Volunteers to CSA!
www.deborah-huldahministries.org/
We are thrilled to forge new partnerships and invite new volunteer groups and individuals to our CSA Family! 2020 has been stellar so far as we continue receiving local support with “make a meal” donations and monetary contributions.
We’re proud to announce our newest partnership with Country Market in Eastchester as they graciously donate beverage and food items to our program!
