Food Drives a Part of the Day of Caring

On Saturday, April 5th, 2014 volunteers across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties will lend their hand to the annual Day of Caring event hosted by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., North Country Regional Volunteer Center, Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau. Kathy Snow, Director of Development of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. stated “The Day of Caring is a tremendous opportunity for people through-out Clinton, Essex, and Franklin Counties to come together for friends and neighbors to help maintain the unique quality of life in this area.”

Local residents who are unable to volunteer are still able to participate in the day by donating food.  There will be food drives manned by volunteers at Sam’s Club, Price Chopper, and Yando’s Big M, all in Plattsburgh along with a drop off at Cumberland 12.  Students from Project H.E.L.P. at SUNY Plattsburgh will also be going door to door in the City of Plattsburgh collecting food from residents. In Lake Placid , Uihlein Living Center will also be collecting food on April 4th, 2014. Catholic Charities in Malone is collecting food and senior hygiene products all weeks to help out the local seniors. The drop off site is at any local senior citizen center in Malone.  All food items collecting will go to the local food shelves.
