Today marked the last day of our Thanksgiving Dinner Give Away! Today we were in Middletown at 34 Mill St..

Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who gave their time to make sure our community had a full Thanksgiving Dinner.

Special thanks to Congressman Ryan’s staffer Maria Ingrassia, Pastor John and his amazing friends, RECAP’s Healthy Home, Nutrition and Advocacy and Housing staff.

Thanks again to Cornell Cooperative Extension for the fresh veggies for each meal.

Today RECAP held its second of three Thanksgiving Dinner Giveaways for our community. Today was our Port Jervis day!

We called in the reinforcements and Congressman Pat Ryan answered the call and joined us. We packed, fresh veggies from Cornell Cooperative Extension and paired them with turkeys to make a well-rounded meal.

Congressman Ryan also toured our Port Jervis Head Start. Reading to students, making some art and playing on our playground.

We shared our growing concern of multiple issues facing those we serve including lack of affordable, safe housing, increase in food insecurity, limited, affordable childcare and behavioral health challenges.

We also discussed a potential $750 million cut to Head Start and low wages for Head Start staff.

We thank Congressman Ryan for a great morning and hearing our concerns!
