New
School Items Appreciated for Domestic Violence
Shelter Children
Dear Friends,
School will be open in a few months. At the Domestic
Violence Shelter the kids will head off to school
each day, just like the children in your neighborhood.
But for the most, it's a new school with unfamiliar
faces and unknown routines. A new backpack, lunch
bag, notebook, pens, pencils or calculator and
other supplies give them the needed tools and
boost confidence. Perhaps you can donate a gift
card so badly needed clothes or shoes can be bought.
We are not able at this time to accept any used
clothes. Plus, we feel strongly that every child
deserve something new in which to start school.
Can you help? If your answer is yes, please
contact Kathy Welby Moretti at Family of Woodstock
(845) 331-7080 ext.127.
Sincerely,
Kathy Welby -Moretti
Program Director

Art
Supplies Needed
The Domestic Violence Shelter has a resident in
need of art supplies. This young woman was a college
art student who became involved with an abusive
partner. She had to leave her studies due to the
abuse. In her difficult circumstances she gave
away her portfolio thinking she could never pursue
her art again. With the help of Family of Woodstock
this woman and her young child have found housing
and are rebuilding their lives. One of her long
term goals is to return to art school and get
her BA. To do this she must rebuild her portfolio.
She is need of all basic art supplies (which need
not be new) including but not limited to:
Paper (all sizes and weight)
Pencils ( varying hardness)
Paint
Brushes
Canvas
Charcoal
Conte crayons
Pastels
Her original focus of study was metal sculpture.
This of course would be difficult for her to do
outside of school or studio space, however if
anyone had any resources for her she'd be thrilled
I'm sure.
The Shelter is also preparing to do ongoing art
groups with all residents in an effort to reduce
the effects of the trauma our residents have experienced.
Our facilitators will be needing art supplies
of all types as well. We can put any new or used
supplies to good use.
Please call Kathy Moretti , Program Director -
at 331-7080 ext.127

Queens
Galley Soup Kitchen in Ulster County At Risk of
Closing
Largest
Soup Kitchen in Ulster County At Risk of Closing
Imagine
you are a young mother with children living in
the Hudson Valley and don't have enough money
to feed your children. Imagine you are a
senior with limited income that doesn't cover
the cost of basic food. For many of our neighbors
this is the harsh reality of life and not an imagined
hypothetical. Fortunately for Ulster County residents
they have access to the Queens Galley soup kitchen
in Kingston that provides 3 meals a day, 7 days
a week, 365 days per year. Unfortunately
another stark reality is this vital program might
be forced to close its doors.
This is a reality for people who received one
of 7,953 meals last month at The Queens Galley. The Queens
Galley is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization
that provides awareness, education, relief and
prevention of food insecurity in Ulster County
. The Queens Galley Soup Kitchen is in dire
need of funding to keep its doors open, otherwise
the 8,000+ meals we anticipate serving in the
coming month will no longer be available. We
are not alone in this cataclysmic emergency. Nationwide,
every fourth face in line at a soup kitchen belongs
to that of a child. Every day we see new faces
at the Queens Galley and at each new day those
faces are younger.
Why is this situation so severe? Primarily,
rising energy costs have forced the soup kitchen's
primary donor to divert the generous gifts
that have kept the dining room doors open
to all in need. It is not just those we serve
that face the choice between "heat or
eat". This devastation affects those who
serve as well. Secondly, Queens Galley depends
on the financial generosity of the community in
both time and money rather than apply for federal
grants that mandate that anyone being served a
meal must provide proof of poverty. We are
fortunate that some of our elected officials
are attempting to assist us by locating possible
funds that will not require that we ask someone
to prove they are poor enough before we feed them.
That search, however, is difficult as funding
streams become limited and agencies that serve
all feel the increased burden to fund a growing
population at risk. The Queens Galley believes
that all people should be fed in a dignified manner
without having to demonstrate they are worthy
of proper nourishment. If you are humble
enough to come to our door for food, you
will be fed. We are confident that we can maintain
that all important value with your help.
Queens Galley was established in 2006 by Diane
Reeder, who started this program from her personal
experience of trying to feed her family of five
on a budget of $25.00 every two weeks. In
the beginning Diane was thrilled that she was
serving 1,200 nutritious meals a month, but the
number of meals served has soared to 8,000 in
recent months, with projections that might reach
10,000 before the year is out.
Many local businesses and restaurants in the county
have stepped up to help by participating in the
"2nd Harvest Program". Under this
program, restaurants donate the cooked but unsold
food left over at the end of the evening to the
Galley to serve to its patrons. Food distributors
provide free of charge refrigerated pick-up and
delivery of the donated food to Queens Galley.
But these vital donations do not pay for the payroll,
rent, utilities, additional food and supplies.
The Queens Galley must raise $250,000.00 by the
end of the year just to keep its doors open.
Next year, 96,000 meals or more may not be served
unless they do so. That number is growing
as people are being forced to make the choice
between fuel to heat their homes or food to fuel
their bodies.
What can you do to help? Come have breakfast,
lunch or dinner at the Queens Galley and see for
yourself what this vital program provides to those
less fortunate. Queens Galley is located
at 254 Washington Avenue in Kingston . Go
to the Queens Galley website at www.thequeensgalley.org
and click on the "Wish List" to see
what you can donate to fulfill specific food,
supplies and repair needs. Volunteer your
time.
Any
amount is appreciated and every effort is accepted
with gratitude to help the Queens Galley feed
the Hudson Valley ...one meal at a time.
