FAMILY MEAL PROGRAM - LAUNCHED MARCH 2020
With schools closed due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have enhanced our food-based mission to help feed local families seriously at risk for hunger. Since mid-March, A Single Bite & Foster Supply Hospitality have provided 100,000 servings to our neighbors. The cost is $5 per person to feed children for whom this may be their only substantial meal each day.
We are partnering with schools, food pantries and other nonprofit organizations to reach deep into the community. And, we are purchasing as much product as possible from our local farmers and producers.
Neighbors feeding neighbors with our neighborhood grown food. Nothing could be simpler or better reflect the core of A Single Bite’s mission.
We are committed to feeding those most vulnerable for real hunger for as long as they need our assistance. To date, A Single Bite has received donations from generous individuals, families, local businesses as well as grants from the Lazare and Charlotte Kaplan Fund, the Rockland Relief Fund, the Fund for Women and Children and the Orange and Sullivan COVID-19 Response Fund. Additional funds are needed to feed families as long as there is a need in our community. Get involved and donate today!
