FOOD DRIVE AT PS144

March 1 - March 14

A recent report cited from the Food Bank of NYC reveals that 40 percent of New Yorkers, 3.3 million people, are having difficulty affording food, a 60 percent increase since 2003. At the same time NYC"s pantries and shelters are experiencing critical emergency food shortages. As a result of this urgent lack of food, the Parents' Association is holding a food drive for two weeks.

 Please bring nonperishable, unopened food and place it in the labeled storage bin in the foyer of the school.

All food collected will be donated to Our Lady of Mercy Food Pantry and the Briarwood Family Residence Shelter and Pantry.

 

Thank you for your support and donations.
