A
Spring Valley-based nonprofit is providing 150 meals to families in the East Ramapo Central School District for
Thanksgiving.
Opportunity
Now launched
this summer to help with the increased poverty sparked by the pandemic.
David Greaves of Opportunity
Now, Inc. tells News 12 many people living below the poverty line have children
who attend the district.
“The
percentages are over 30% and with COVID-19
and everything going on the numbers are bound to increase,” says Greaves. “Any
form of relief, whether it's
hunger relief or any type of assistance with coat drives or any type of
assistance is definitely needed."
Opportunity Now is also hoping to organize a toy and meal
giveaway for Christmas but is
asking for assistance from the public. To donate, visit their
