Jen Brathwaite, our Assistant Director of Client Services, snapped a few pictures of our Ulster and Dutchess Health Home Care Management team meeting. Every other month, the teams have a “multi-county” Health Home team meeting and as part of the agenda they include team building activities. The staff have given a lot of positive feedback and enjoy these meetings, which are not only fun but also very informative.

If you’re like us (and so many of our supporters) you love when local food combines with local charity…that’s why Empty Bowls at Rondout Valley High School is such a great event! Now in its 12th year, Empty Bowls unites hard-working art students, local restaurants, food pantries and Ulster County residents who want to do good. On Friday, April 17th, hundreds of generous guests gather at Rondout Valley for an all-you-can-eat soup and ice cream buffet. For a $15 donation, choose from a one-of-a-kind handmade bowl and get your fill–or opt for a $5 paper bowl. You get to take home your beautiful bowl when you’re done! All proceeds benefit local food pantries including HVCS. We recommend getting there early, since the handmade bowls go quickly. Check out all the details on the event page or go to www.emptybowls.webs.com.

Rondout Valley High School hosts their 12th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser to benefit local food banks and pantries (including HVCS) on Friday, April 17, 2015 from 5 to 7:30 pm. This jam-packed event is a huge hit each year that raises thousands of dollars for local people in need.
Here’s how it works: Students shape, create and glaze pottery bowls all year long to build up a huge collection of unique pieces. Guests purchase bowls for a $15 donation and then fill them with all-you-can-eat soups, bread, salad and cheese (all donated by local restaurants). Students are on hand in the school cafeteria to clean your bowl in between courses–and Stewart’s always donates the supplies for the ice cream sundae bar! Guests can also donate just $5 for a paper bowl.
There’s no need to RSVP, but we recommend getting to Rondout Valley HS as soon as you can to choose the perfect bowl–because they do sell out fast!
