- Additional thoughts/items (email Eric or Jake with suggestions so they can be added to agenda and appropriate time budgeted)
Our first in-person event was a success! Our second shift of Lend a hand was July 11!
On Sunday, May 16, a group of volunteers gathered for Lend a hand, the first in-person event scheduled by SATO this year. These folks got together at the main warehouse of the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY to sort produce for families in need.
Many thanks to all who came out to
lend a hand!
