Since Summer is coming on so quickly, we have decided that today's fun fact about food should have something to do with the greatest Summer pastime: camping.

Many campers know the humble freeze-dried meal brand, Mountain House, but, its parent company, Oregon Freeze Dry, started out producing freeze dried fruits for cereal, and only founded Mountain House in 1969 as a brand of civilian adventure meals after selling out of surplus meals they produced for US Armed Forces during the Vietnam War.

Good morning, Pawling!

This past weekend Scouts from Cub Scout Pack 34 and Boy Scout Troop 34 were hard at work at the Resource Center dropping off food they collected from their annual Scouting for Food Drive!

Over the course of the day, the Scouts unloaded, sorted, and shelved 2,102 pounds of pantry goods for the Resource Center's pantry, including canned foods, dry foods, personal grooming items, household supplies, paper goods, and baby supplies!

We can't thank the Scouts enough for doing this every year. In fact, the Scouting for Food Drive has been happening for at least 20 years! Our Program Coordinator, Brandon, participated in this very same food drive as a teenager when he himself was the Troop Guide for Troop 34.

The PRC Thanks Pawling Rotary for Successful Toiletry Drive

On Saturday, May 16th, Pawling Rotary’s Epic Day of Service Toiletry Drive benefitting the families and seniors of the PRC took place and it was a grand success. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., members of the Pawling club, along with PRC executive director Michael Alexander, manned a table outside of Hannaford’s, where they collected 350 pounds of diapers and baby products, 240 pounds of paper products and 155 pounds of personal hygiene products. In all, 745 pounds of needed items for Pawling’s neighbors in need were collected, including $224 donated by generous Hannaford shoppers. The Pawling Resource Center also thanks Hannaford’s for its partnership in this endeavor, and the Pawling community for their steadfast support and generosity.

The Pawling Resource Center’s Inaugural Heart of Pawling Award

By Susan Stone

As the PRC’s 50th anniversary year unfolds, the board of directors, along with executive director Michael Alexander, have created the Heart of Pawling Award, to be given annually to a deserving and committed PRC volunteer for exceptional service in support of Pawling’s neighbors in need. With volunteerism at the very heart of the Center’s ability to serve the community, the Heart of Pawling Award will recognize a PRC volunteer who has consistently donated time, talent or services with heartfelt dedication to the PRC’s mission. This year, the PRC’s Heart of Pawling Award is being presented to Nastassia Lavion for her 963 hours of volunteer assistance during the past year, showing up almost every day to help. Her many hours of service have been spent helping food pantry clients, retrieving needed medical equipment from storage on the second floor, and accepting and cleaning incoming equipment that had been loaned to members of the community. Nastassia also answered phones and helped with general office work. She is always available to assist wherever needed and is gratified to be able to help people “who don’t have a lot, especially during the holidays.”
