When reached out to me this morning about organizing a community food drive through the , the answer was an immediate yes.
💛 Here’s why this matters:
• 85,000 people in Rockland County are served by food pantries and meal programs each month. That’s 1 in every 6 people, including children, the elderly, and those living with disabilities.
• 94,000 Rockland County residents live above the Federal Poverty Level but still struggle to afford food for themselves and their families.
• Nearly 50,000 people in Rockland receive SNAP benefits, most of them children, seniors, or disabled individuals. With assistance programs pausing, the need is growing.
Let’s come together to support our neighbors. Please bring non-perishable or shelf-stable food items to Jamie Surya Yoga Studio to help families right here in our community.
We especially welcome:
💛 Allergy-friendly options (gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, etc.)
💛 Organic and wholesome items
💛 Family staples like rice, beans, pasta, canned vegetables, soups, and snacks
📦 Drop-off: Anytime at Jamie Surya Yoga Studio — 222 Ash St., Piermont, NY. If we aren’t there, text 845-206-9532 to let us know you left items outside.
🙏🏼 Food Pick-Up: Any person in need is welcome to visit the studio on Fridays, 11am–12pm, to take what they need, no questions asked.
