For a second year the students of Pawling Karate got in the Halloween spirit with a food drive for the Pawling Resource Center. In their “Trick or Treat for the Hungry” food drive, the students brought canned goods, pasta, and other non-perishable items to the karate school.
Last year the students gathered more than 600 items for donation. This year they more than doubled the amount! This year there was so much that the Resource Center decided on weighing the bags of food as they were delivered. The total was over 1,000 pounds! The families of Pawling Karate were extremely generous, with some people individually donating more than 100 items!
Sensei Alexis, chief instructor and owner said, “Everyone really got into the food drive this year! My favorite part is when the kids would come in with their bags full of canned goods with a huge smile. I couldn’t believe how much we gathered! I’m so proud of our karate family.”
The donations were definitely appreciated and the Pawling Resource Center has had their shelves restocked with all of the items. If you would like to donate, please see their website http://www.pawlingreso
