On Sunday, January 22nd, nearly 100 children from the Carver Center and Blind Brook Middle School participated in a Flash Mob at the Port Chester Stop & Shop to raise awareness for Carver’s Food Pantry need for breakfast supplies.
Sarah Keilman, Caroline Levine, Julia Levine, Olivia Morrisey, Margot Schwartz, Maya Finkman and Eric Spanier – all sixth grade students at Blind Brook Middle School – participate in Destination Imagination, an international problem-solving competition. The team of seven visited Carver Center to learn how they could make an impact on their neighboring community. On their visit, the students noticed the limited breakfast supplies in the food pantry, and made this the focus of their project. The students also collaborated with local nutritionist, Joy Bauer, to come up with cost-effective, “no-cook” healthy recipes to make breakfast not only the most important meal of the day, but the favorite of our clients.
“It’s great to see the students’ enthusiasm and energy, and their commitment to making a difference for our community,” said Elizabeth Cook, Carver Center’s Development Director.
At the conclusion of the flash mob, Stop & Shop presented a check for $1,500 to Carver Center to support the needs of our Food Pantry.
