We've been collecting nonperishables for several months now, as suggested by Sheila. Last week, Tony and Melanie delivered the items collected over to CHIPS, a food pantry in Park Slope, where our contribution was gratefully accepted. People are going hungry in the summer as well as during the winter holiday season when everyone thinks about giving to the soup kitchens. In fact, people are going hungry at a much higher rate now. Last year food insecurity hit 56% of NYC families with children, a large jump from the previous year, as reported by the New York City Food Bank.

So keep those nonperishables coming! We're doing a great job!
