About:
The Hastings KIDS (Kids Involved Doing Service) Club, a venture of the Hastings Youth Council, has coordinated a food drive for the Hastings Food Pantry during the Costello Basketball Tournament for the past three years. Each year the Hastings KIDS grade level liaisons and also players on the Basketball Teams take the lead on this and get the word out. During the 2018 tournament the following players helped by posting information and talking to their coaches and teams about the Food Drive and helping me pack up the items to bring to the Food Pantry:
Sebastien Scioscia, Josh Thigpen, Emily Penner, Chloe Caraballo
This year we had the best turnout yet with more than 20 bags of groceries and toiletry items donated to the Hastings Food Pantry. The Hastings Food Pantry is a program that is overseen by the Hastings Youth Advocate Program and it is a no ask program located at the lower level of our Community Center; about 40 families a week utilize the Hastings Food Pantry.
