Food Drives a Part of the Day of Caring
On Saturday, April 16th, 2016 volunteers across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties will lend their hand to the annual Day of Caring event hosted by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau. Kathy Snow, Director of Development of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. stated “The Day of Caring is a tremendous opportunity for people through-out Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties to come together for friends and neighbors to help maintain the unique quality of life in this area.”
Local residents who are unable to volunteer are still able to participate in the day by donating food. There will be food drives manned by volunteers at Sam’s Club and Yando’s Big M, both in Plattsburgh and Ecumenical Council Food Pantry, 185 Old Military Road in Lake Placid. Students from Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh will also be going door to door in the City of Plattsburgh collecting food from residents. You can also drop off non-perishable items at the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. office, 45 Tom Miller Road, Plattsburgh, between 9:00am and 3:00pm. All food items collecting will go to the local food shelves.
The Day of Caring pairs hundreds of volunteers with numerous projects across the region.
