Liberty CSD’s first Community Farmstand serves about 130 families
On Friday, May 22, the Liberty Central School District community came together for the first Community Farmstand event at Liberty Middle School, and about 130 families were served.
Thanks to the partnerships with the Hudson Valley Regional Food Bank and Sullivan 180, the district was able to distribute a bounty of free dairy items, fresh fruit, vegetables and snacks to its neighbors.
Here are a few highlights from the day:
- SNAP Benefits Advocacy: A huge thank you to the guest advocate who spoke with many community members, providing vital info and resources.
- Looking Ahead: There was fantastic turnout for next year’s sign-ups for both A Single Bite and the Snack Pack program.
- Volunteer Power: This couldn’t have happened without the incredible energy and hard work of the student and staff volunteers.
- Missed out? Don’t worry! There will be one more farmstand coming up in June, at a date TBA.
“Thank you to everyone who came out, volunteered and supported making this event such a success!” said Community Schools Coordinator Katlyn Rusin.
