Greetings!
I NEVER forward emails to our CSA members, but I received
this one and it has too much info that‘s too important to not (or for me to
have to summarize, etc.).
Community Solidarity is the group that Green Thumb CSA –
Huntington has been donating any leftover CSA food to for many years, and they
are wonderful.
If you’d like to volunteer for their big yearly event on
November 19th in Hempstead, or donate money, or volunteer in
Huntington on Tuesday evenings, read on (and check the CSA Events email you get
every week as they’re listed every week)…
This is a great event for families if the children are old
enough to hang out for a few hours on their feet in whatever weather the day
will bring.
If the links below don’t work in this email you can go here…

communities. Help is more needed than ever

plant-based groceries and toiletries at a very special event
we call our Vegan Thanksgiving Bonanza! And we'd love for you to
join us!

suzanne j., the devastation of higher prices for heating
oil, groceries, housing, and other necessities has pushed
thousands of our neighbors into poverty as they
struggle with hunger at the brink of economic ruin. Nearly 4
years into the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent
inflation, we've seen hardship after hardship fall onto Long
Island families. Now, more than ever, coming together and helping
one another is greatly needed. So with that in mind, Community
Solidarity is gearing up for our annual holiday
distributions.
On Sunday, November 19th, Community Solidarity
invites you to its annual Vegan Thanksgiving Bonanza. It's
the world's largest Vegan Thanksgiving! it's free, and
anyone in need of food is welcome! Plus, all are welcome to
volunteer.
Over
the past four years, we've radically
changed how our events work to help as many people as
possible. Please be aware that we will be focusing our efforts on
our drive-through line. Volunteers will be broken up into teams
to encourage social distancing, and lines to enter the
volunteering area may be longer than in years past so we ask that
you sign up in advance (signup below) to expedite the process.
So
with that said, here's a little background on our annual Vegan
Thanksgiving event.
Every
year volunteers like you share over 100,000 pounds of vegetarian
groceries with thousands of people in need at this very
special Vegan Thanksgiving on Long Island. Everyone coming
for food will receive a week's worth of vegetarian groceries,
along with toiletries and other necessities.

to get an idea of what Vegan Thanksgiving will look like? Check
out the video below from last year's event.
