We serve food and distribute clothing and toiletries to members of the Poughkeepsie community! MEETINGS: Wednesdays @ 8:00pm, CC 240
We cook and serve meals on a regular basis at local soup kitchens and shelters, such as the Family Partnership Center and Beulah Baptist Church. We also collect and distribute food, clothing, and toiletries to various community centers in Poughkeepsie. In addition, Hunger Action fund-raises and holds events to increase awareness of hunger and poverty.

Another job well done, team! That’s another 100 meals delivered to Beulah. This one might be our last for the semester! We don’t want to interrupt people’s schedules during finals. Stay tuned for a possible food purchase for Beulah (rather than cooking session) in May!

Yesterday, we cooked, prepared, and packed another 100 meals for Beulah Soup Kitchen, all while completely respecting COVID guidelines! We used the money that was donated to us over Winter Break, so another huge thank you goes out to everyone who donated to that. We couldn’t have done it without you! If you’d like to help us with our next serving shift, email [email protected] to get on our email list!

Thank you so much everyone for donating!!! We are so grateful to have enough money to go to Beulah at least one more time this semester! Because we still have 3 more days, we have raised our donation goal to $400. This would pay for two Beulah cooking trips! We appreciate you all ❤️❤️
