SERVIAM AT URSULINE
Serviam Saturdays Saturday socially distanced food drives at Ursuline began in spring 2020 as the pandemic crippled our country’s food systems and many people faced food insecurity. The food drives continued through June 2021. Rain or shine, twice a month during the school year, students and faculty volunteered to accept and organize the donated food and other items. Often alumnae took part. Collected food and items were regularly donated to Serviam Gardens in the Bronx, a senior low income housing site, or to HOPE Community Services in New Rochelle. We also held food drives to benefit senior citizens through The Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York City, to benefit the Bronx Green Machine, and to help restock local food pantries in Yonkers and Mount Vernon. The need is great. Thank you very much to all who donate.
