Side with Love/Shared Plate
Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard
The November Shared Plate and Side with Love will go to Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard.
Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard is our downtown food pantry, which provides 3 days’ worth of meal staples up to once a month to families in need, and also provides unlimited free perishable food gleaned from local grocery stores and farms. The current need is great. They served 6,302 people last year with meal staples, and numbers are up 12% for this year. With the high need and high food prices, they are using up their financial reserves at an unsustainable pace. The Cupboard is open M-F, staffed by volunteers. FUSIT has regular shifts we cover and could use more volunteers. To volunteer, contact Wendy Wolfe at ww16@cornell.edu.
Side With Love
We are collecting the following donations for Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard: toilet paper (individually wrapped is best), zip-top storage bags of all sizes, peanut butter, canned dinners, canned meats/fish, and gluten-free pastas, cereals and snacks at each Sunday service in November. These will be delivered to Ithaca Kitchen Cupboard at the end of the month.
