WINDHAM — Food insecurity is a growing challenge in our community—one that affects neighbors, families, and friends in ways that are often unseen. But it is also a challenge we can meet when we come together. Community connection has always been one of our greatest strengths here on the mountaintop, and sharing a meal is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to begin that work.
On Monday, December 15th at 6:00 p.m., we invite all members of our community to gather for a Free Community Dinner at the Windham VFW Post 1545 (5565 NY-23, Windham). This event is open to everyone—no cost, no requirements, just good food and good company.
The dinner is part of a growing effort to strengthen food security across the mountaintop. Organized with the support of the Windham VFW, the dinner is sponsored and organized by Stronger Together (a mountaintop community organization formed to bring organizations and residents together in common cause and corporative action) and The Greene County Food Security Coalition (a network of all Greene County food pantries). By sharing with those who would like a good hot meal, meeting our neighbors, and learning more about local needs, we can begin building the partnerships and awareness necessary to ensure that every household has consistent access to nutritious food.
Guests are welcome—but never required—to bring non-perishable food items, which will be distributed to local food pantries. Anyone wishing to support future community dinners may also make a donation. Make checks payable Mountaintop Interfaith Community, marked Food Security. PO Box 139, Tannersville NY 12485
In times like these, community is not just helpful—it’s essential. Join us on December 15th as we come together, break bread, and work toward a future where every family on the mountain has enough.
All are welcome! Please spread the word.
