Donate Supplies to the Hastings Youth Council’s ‘Breakfast Run’

Many Hastings kids and teens will be cooking breakfast-food items and serving them to homeless people in New York City this Sunday. 'Breakfast Run' organizers Elizabeth Galletta and Jenny Conte need some donations from the community to make the volunteer effort a success.  

All nonperishable items can be dropped off at the lower level of the this week between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. and Friday until 10 p.m. and Saturday from 12 to 7 p.m.

Organizers suggest dropping off perishable items on Oct. 21 and 22 since refrigeration space is limited.

Please email Elizabeth Galletta and tell her what you are donating.
