Last Sunday at our Living Ethics Roundtable we discussed the tragedy of hunger throughout  the world, in our country, and especially in Westchester. This week we can participate in a special event sponsored by our friends at the United Way to address the problem in our own backyard: National Canned Food Month.

The drive will take place between Saturday, February 24, and Saturday, March 2. Our Westchester Community for Ethical Culture can participate by donating canned foods, or volunteering to sort, count, and drop off donations.

Please bring a canned food donation this Sunday. If you can volunteer your help, please contact Geoff Smith at gsmith@ethicalculturewestchester.org.
