• Feeding Westchester - September is Hunger Action Month

  • Start
    September 01, 2021
  • End
    September 30, 2021
  • Location
    feedingwestchester.org/hungeractionmonth

  September is Hunger Action Month, which is dedicated to bringing awareness to hunger and inspiring our community to get involved in hunger relief efforts. Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice – yet, as you well know, for many of our Westchester neighbors, a daily meal is just that: a choice. A choice between food and other critical needs like medicine, electricity, childcare. No one should have to make those choices.

  The need in Westchester for food is still significantly more than it was prior to the pandemic – and with the added uncertainty of the Delta variant, we anticipate the need will remain high for many months, even years, to come:

  • Prior to COVID-19, our network of nearly 300 community partners and programs had been serving and average of 125,000 to 150,000 individuals each month.
  • During the height of the pandemic, that number more than doubled, with over 350,000 served in May 2020.
  • Currently, we are still serving an average of 225,000 each month.

  We are encouraging the entire Westchester community to get involved this September (and beyond) by educating themselves and others about hunger, and getting involved by donating, volunteering, or simply advocating and sharing their support – and we would love for you to get involved, too!

  Here is a link to our Hunger Action Month Toolkit and outlined below a few ways you, your team, and the community can get involved, and activations we have planned during September (all of which and more can be found on our resource page here):

  • Go Orange – Throughout the month, or on Hunger Action Day, Friday, September 17, wear orange to show your support for hunger relief.
  • • Take a photo, share it on social, and hashtag #FeedingWestchester #HungerActionMonth
    • Encourage your friends, family, colleagues to do the same and share, as well!
  • Hunger Action Month Food Drive – Happening all month, we’ll be collecting various items with a drive-thru drop off happening on Friday, September 17, at our distribution center in Elmsford. We are aiming to fill 30 Bins in 30 Days!
  • Share Support on Social – In the toolkit, we provide sample messages, hashtags, and our resource page has images that can be used on your organization’s or own social media channels. A simple but effective way to spread awareness and encourage involvement!

  The Power of Anxiety: How Practice Makes Purpose with Melissa Bernstein
  Wednesday, September 22nd at 7 PM

  Please join MHA for an evening with Melissa Bernstein, founder of beloved toy company Melissa and Doug. From building a billion-dollar company and raising six children, Melissa's public path has been marked by success. However, for as long as she can remember, harmful inner voices and feelings of hopelessness had been part of her life. After seeking help at the age of 50 for depression and anxiety, Melissa developed a set of powerful practices to support meaning. Today, she shares these practices, resources and tools through LifeLines, an online ecosystem she and Doug underwrite to facilitate individuals creating their own lifelines.

    6:00 PM
  • Location
    Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill, Tarrytown, NY

  

  Latino U College Access (LUCA) will be hosting its 9th Annual Benefit - Visiones: Ripple Effect -  on Thursday, October 28th at 6:30 PM at Abigail Kirsch Tappan Hill Mansion. Event Flier

  REGISTER HERE

  This year, the fundraiser will be a hybrid celebration - an intimate in-person gathering with an option to celebrate virtually as well. During the event, LUCA will recognize two incredible Honorees, who have demonstrated a commitment to educational equity and opportunity. The White Plains High School Guidance Team will be recognized with the Partnership Award; and Debbie Shiffman, LUCA’s College Coach Advisor, will receive the Community Advocate Award. 

  LUCA guides low-income Latino youth as they navigate higher education and become the first person in their families to graduate from college. Students are mentored on their journeys to and through college so that they can graduate on time and career ready with little to no debt. 

  When you take a closer look, you will find that LUCA’s ripples of impact extend far beyond its Scholars. Families are empowered. Dedicated volunteers are inspired. Even our communities, witnessing students pursue a dream they never thought was possible, are changed. That’s why this year's theme holds so much significance for the LUCA familia. 

  Visiones is LUCA’s major annual fundraiser that includes fabulous food and drinks, exciting live auction items, and the chance to transform lives by making college dreams a reality. Hope to see you there!
