How You Can Help Fight Food Insecurity In Poughkeepsie
What have you had to eat today? The number of people living with food insecurities doubled within the past year due to the pandemic, 130 million to 260 million. People are struggling to feed their families and supply the nutrients their body s need. Marist Singers needs your help to make a difference in our community.
Each year at Marist College, the singers club organizes benefit concerts that help raise money for charities and local businesses. The spring production is called Love in the Afternoon, which is student-run and performed. This year they are supporting Reach Out and Touch, a food pantry located in downtown Poughkeepsie run by the Redeemed Christian Fellowship. Marist Singers would annually perform at the church to help the pantry during the winter, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they could not, which is why they are so eager to work with them now.
