Hunger Is Not a Disease

Kingston has a new Farm Stand!

How long has it been since –

you bit into a juicy, delicious peach?

you ate a gorgeous red apple?

had a piece of homemade apple pie?

had a serving of home cooked beets?

Wait no more!

Fresh fruits and vegetables (picked on Monday), are now distributed  Tuesday mornings in the  parking lot of People’s Place Food Pantry and Thrift Store at the corner of St. James and Broadway  in Kingston, New York.

This is the new paradigm at work!  Anyone can get the food.  Just be there when it opens at 10 on Tuesday mornings.  No questions are asked.  No identification is necessary.  Take this delicious, nutritious food home, prepare it how you want, and eat it.

A new project of the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley,   People’s Place was chosen as the first Farm Stand in Ulster County because

it’s got that generous parking lot,

it’s in a grocery store desert,

it’s in Kingston.

Last week, the first week ever for the Farm Stand, brought 565 people to enjoy  this gorgeous food.  It was, every bit of it, fresh food, grown in our own Hudson Valley.

Our tax dollars at work in the 21st century.
