A Delicious Thanksgiving – Thanks to Sofregit!
Wednesday, November 20th, 2013
On Tuesday, November 19th, the sassy ladies from SOFREGíT™ stopped by our Poughkeepsie office to donate supplies for our clients’ Thanksgiving food bags. Adrienne and Carla Ramos brought 24 of their Red Herb & Vegetable Bases so that our clients can add some zing to their meals. Pronounced So-fre-geet, “Sofregit” is of Latin origin which means to cook or sauté slowly. SOFREGíT™ Fresh Cooking Base products allow clients to add fresh herbs and veggies to kick off a healthy, tasty meal with ease. They also dropped off a donation of fresh salsas from My Brother Bobby’s Salsa. Plus, Carla added, “we brought the kids along so they gain an appreciation for giving
back to the community.”
It’s rare that we get donations of fresh products like these, mainly due to the challenge of distributing them in a timely fashion. But with Thanksgiving coming up, we know that we’ll be seeing clients this week. Some funding sources for our food closets don’t allow us to purchase herbs and spices, so Sofregit products are especially appreciated!
Hungry clients will be picking up their holiday meals from our emergency food closet this week, and they’re certain to find these delicious treats in their bags. Thank you Sofregit and My Brother Bobby’s Salsa for remembering our clients!

Empty Bowls
Wednesday, March 13th, 2013
On Friday, April 19th, Rondout Valley High School in Stone Ridge (or Accord, depending on who you ask) is holding its 10th annual “Empty Bowls” event to raise funds for local food pantries – including our Kingston emergency food closet. How it works: upon arrival, you buy a $15 ceramic bowl created by local artists and students – they come in hundreds of different colors and patterns, and each one is unique. Then, you fill your bowl with delicious soups donated by local restaurants, or ice cream (they’ll wash your bowl in between, too!) for dessert.
Here’s a few links to more info:

Thursday, October 18th, 2012On Sunday, October 14th, members of the Ardsley High School Silver Lining Club tabled outside of DeCicco’s market in Ardsley to ask generous shoppers to donate nonperishable foods and toiletries to ARCS’ food pantries. The group donned some of our AIDS Walk t-shirts to be more visible, and did a great job collecting food for our nutritional services clients! Thanks to everyone in the club who volunteered that day, and thanks to the kind and caring DeCicco’s customers who made it all possible!
