United Way Executive Director Julian Dawson and Monticello Kiwanis President Jane Sorensen display turkeys and basket donations at recent Kiwanis Meeting. |
Members of the Kiwanis Clubs of Monticello and Woodridge and the newly formed Aktion Club of Sullivan County helped to provide holiday meals to needy families in the County through their generous donations.
Monticello Kiwanis presented eight frozen turkeys and baskets filled with traditional Thanksgiving foods to Julian Dawson, Executive Director of the United Way of Sullivan County. Woodridge Kiwanis donated to the food pantries ran by St. Andrews Episcopal Church in South Fallsburg and the Methodist Church in Hurleyville. They each received $250 and a frozen turkey.
The Aktion Club, a community service club for adults living with disabilities, donated frozen turkeys and prepared beautifully decorated baskets filled with delicious holiday fixings to be delivered to a needy family in the Fallsburg and Liberty Central School Districts as well as to the United Way of Sullivan County and the Monticello Interfaith Council. The Aktion Club is sponsored by the Monticello and Woodridge Kiwanis Clubs.
