15 Acts of Kindness Projects
Helping Harvest, our community food assistance program, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this spring—and we want to give back to the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk community in a meaningful way! We're partnering with our friends at Abounding Love Christian Fellowship and City Church to launch 15 Acts of Kindness for 15 Years of Impact. Take a look at our projects below. Want to help?

Village of Ravena Trash Clean Up
Saturday, May 31
9-11 am
Meet at Village Hall, 15 Mountain Rd, Ravena, NY 1243

Project 4
Food Drive for Local Food Pantries
Ongoing through Sunday, June 22
Our local food pantries are the first line of defense when families face a lack of food. They complement the work we do at Helping Harvest, our low-cost grocery store program for struggling families. Funding has been slashed for the Regional Food Bank, which supplies much of food local pantries count on. Let's host a food drive for our local food pantries including St. Patrick's Food Pantry in Ravena, Venture Food Pantries in South Bethlehem and Trinity Methodist's in Coeymans Hollow.
​
Food donations can be dropped off at Helping Harvest Mon, Tues, Thurs and Sat 10-2 and Wed, Fri 2-6.
