Men's Basketball Volunteers With St. John's Bread and Life
BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (May 2, 2012) - The C.W. Post men's b basketball recently volunteered their time doing community service at the St John's Bread and Life facility in Brooklyn. A total of 14 players put in over four hours each as they worked in the food pantry preparing and delivering meals for the homeless, as well as stocking shelves and freezers with food deliveries being donated.
St John's Bread and Life Facility daily addresses the issues of hunger and poverty in Brooklyn and Queens. Every day, Bread and Life serves over one thousand meals to hungry New Yorkers. We provide these services both at our Lexington Avenue facility and through our unique Mobile Soup Kitchen. For many, the meals that Bread and Life provide are the only meals they have. The goal of St John's Bread and Life is to combat poverty and help people achieve self-sufficiency, in addition to educating the public and increasing awareness about meals to needy New Yorkers.
