A Note From Our Director, Roberta Apuzzo
Dear Friends of CSA:
Hello 2024!! We are grateful for all of our volunteers past and present who have come in to help serve, or have cooked meals from home. This past year we have seen an increase in dinner guests with an average of 100-120 individuals per night, 4 nights per week. Each dinner guest also receives a bagged lunch. As you can imagine, the cost of so many meals each week takes a tremendous financial toll on our already tight budget. We have also seen an increase in families with young children as we are located down the block from a family shelter.
One question we get all the time is:
“How can I best contribute to the program?“
A financial contribution is always helpful and goes directly towards food, and other necessary expenses such as rent, supplies, internet, accounting, etc. to directly benefit our clients. Alternatively, if you don’t want to donate money, you could take advantage of our “Make A Meal For One Night” volunteer opportunity by purchasing, and providing one night’s meal for us. This way both your money AND time will go directly towards feeding our guests.
Don’t have the ability to cook for so many? How about having a meal catered for one night from the restaurant of your choice? It is as simple as contacting us to secure a date on our calendar and placing the order!
We also accept clothing donations within reason – please contact us before dropping off any clothing or food pantry items as we do not have much space to store these items.
If you have any questions or concerns about making a donation, please do not hesitate to contact us at (914) 668-1428 or email us at contact@csasoupkitchen.org
As always, any contribution is tax deductible and greatly appreciated!
Roberta Apuzzo
Executive Director
