From Blue Cabinets to Code Blue
Our commitment is a hot dinner every Monday through the winter months (November 24 – April 15). The need is much larger this year, so your donations and willingness to pitch in with a meal delivery or assisting with cooking ( one time or ongoing) when you can play a crucial role.
We will also continue to keep our commitment to the two Blue Cabinets we’ve adopted in town. The consistent contributions to our neighbors’ basic needs of sustainable foods and personal care items have made an impact! For more details, click this LINK.
You can also sign up to participate or donate in the Narthex. Please reach out with any questions to Neighborhoodconnection@fccithaca.org.
