As most of you know, Safe at Home and Taconic Hills School has spent the last 2 years connecting senior volunteers with students
for a program called, " Stories Across Generations" where seniors and elementary school students read with each other on a 1 to 1 basis for 30 minutes, once a week.

This past week, 3 of us were honored to be invited to hear an amazing presentation given to the students by the child author, Doreen Cronin. The presentation was heartwarming and inspirational.

The Teconic hHlls website has photos of the wonderful petting zoo they had set up in honor of the day. Hallways were decorated with characters from many of her books.

A wonderful time was had by all as the magic of reading was brought to life by the efforts of so many dedicated people.

Safe at Home is looking for more volunteers for the reading program which will begin again in the fall.
If you'd like to find out more please reach out via "[email protected]* or contact committee member Natalie at #(518) 265 2113.

🥦 We have a few volunteer spots open at the Kitchen to assist our chefs with food prep and plating meals!

🥕 We're looking for volunteers for shifts on Mondays from 11am-2pm, and Fridays from 9am-11am and 11am-2pm at our Kitchen located at the Churchtown Firehouse.

🫛 These roles don't open up often and fill quickly! This is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to gain first-hand experience in a professional kitchen while giving back to our community. You'll join our team of experienced chefs and dedicated volunteers who create hundreds of healthy, locally-sourced meals each day to help people facing food insecurity across Columbia County.

🫑 Please reach out if you'd like to join us! [email protected]
