Help Feed Kingston Families

Published on 5/30/2020

Many in our community are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. In partnership with the Kingston Ale House, KCYC will be dispensing food bags to Kingston families in need. This is an extension of the food program conducted by the Ale House since the beginning of the pandemic.

The Ale House will prepare the non-perishable food for packing and bring it to the clubhouse and the perishable food will be in the KCYC refrigerator. Kim Clark will supply KCYC with a list of families that have ordered food bags and when they will pick up their bags if possible. She will also supply a list of items to be in each bag. After the food delivery to KCYC once per week, KCYC members will fill the non-perishable bags from the list and leave them in the kitchen. The families will knock on the door, give their name and wait in their car or on the deck. The KCYC member will fill the perishable bag and take the perishable and non-perishable bags to the deck where the family can pick up their food. We expect to distribute bags to 40-50 families per week.

We are looking for KCYC volunteers to:
1.  fill the bags with the non-perishable good — 1 person per week, approximately 1 hour on Tuesday afternoon. Actual time can be determined by the volunteers.
2. fill the perishable food bag and distribute the bags to individuals coming to the clubhouse to pick up their bags—1 or 2 hour shifts depending on the number of volunteers. Hours of operation will be 4-6pm on Wednesday and Noon to 2 pm on Friday.

Masks, gloves and strict social distancing will be required. Soap and hand sanitizer will be provided. Specific instructions will be provided by Kim Clark to the volunteers. The program will continue until the need disappears or the donations run out.
