Packing took place at the Jewish Community Center of Mid-Westchester in Scarsdale and the Rosenthal JCC of Northern Westchester in Pleasantville.
“It’s hard to imagine someone not having enough to eat, but that, sadly, is sometimes the case,” said Vivian Sklar of Scarsdale to the children at the JCC of Mid-Westchester. “Sometimes it’s very hard for older or ill people to shop, especially during the winter months, and they need donated food to be delivered to their homes. You are doing a very good deed by making life a little easier for them and showing them you care.”
During the event, volunteers decorated bags and created holiday cards to deliver wishes to the recipients. The bags were filled with a variety of canned and prepackaged food, as well as items such as paper towels and tissues that cannot be purchased via the government food stamp program.
