The proceeds from this drive will go to Dutchess Outreach to provide
items for their Food Pantry and the Lunch Box.  Dutchess Outreach
strives “to meet the temporary, basic needs of families and
individuals when no other resources are readily available to them.”
The Food Pantry supplies 3 days worth of nutritious food for those in
need.  The Lunch Box serves lunches and dinners for thousands of
people throughout the year.

This drive will honor the memory of Kay ten Kraft.  Kay was an avid
knitter and fiber artist.  She exhibited and sold her beautiful
hand-dyed yarns at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival in
Rhinebeck as well as other Wool Festivals throughout the Northeast.
For many years Kay was actively involved at Freedom Plains Church and
a dedicated assistant at Hopewell Animal Hospital, as well as a member
and past President of the Hudson Valley Artisans Guild.  A few years
ago, Kay and her husband Nicholas Adams relocated to a farm in
Columbia County, to be near family and tend to her sheep, goats and a
menagerie of animals.

Contributions we are seeking for this food drive include:

Pantry Items:  Juice boxes (100% juice), powdered tea mix, cases of
bottled water, baby food, canned meat/tuna, peanut butter.

Personal Care Products:  Toilet paper, tooth paste/brushes, bath soap,
shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream, disposable razors.

Monetary Donations:  Monetary donations will be used to serve a lunch
and dinner, in Kay’s memory, at the Lunch Box.  Checks should be made
out to Dutchess Outreach Corporation with Kay ten Kraft in the memo.
