Nice people doing nice things

 

On behalf of our Club, Vice President D’Abbraccio, presented a $1,000

check to Kathy Kreiter, CEO of the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless. As you know, the Federation was one of two charities that the Club provided funding to this year from proceeds raised from the Monster Run. Kathy Kreiter spoke and answered many questions about the Federation’s mission and purpose. She also discussed its day-to-day operations and how the Federation operates in conjunction with various state and federal agencies and other charitable organizations in assisting the indigent with shelter, food, clothing, transportation, and other basic necessities. Kathy offered several specific examples of how her organization serves the needy, oftentimes when no other private or public organization has the capability or capacity to do so in a timely or comprehensive manner. The Federation has only 2.5 full-time employees and limited financial resources to meet the large number of people needing its services. As with many not-for-profit organizations, the Federation receives fewer funding grants today than it did a few years ago.
