When one of our longtime students, Ann, reached out about dropping off boxes of pasta for the food drive Gina initiated at the JSYS I told her she could leave them outside and that Theresa would bring them in after class.
She replied, “I don’t think it’s going to fit inside.” 😳
I told her I’d come by after my class in Stony Point to load my car up and when Andres and I arrived, we couldn’t believe what we saw.
This incredible donation will make a huge impact for community members struggling to put food on the table. No child, adult, or companion animal should ever go hungry… but here we are.
Ann, there aren’t enough words to thank you for your generosity 🙏🏼🫂🫶🏼
And Gina, thank you for spearheading this. As Italian Americans, we must have manifested all this pasta for our neighbors 🇮🇹🍝
We protect us ❤️
