It’s a great beer and worth seeking out. It’s widely available in my hometown of Buffalo, New York, but as for Geneva, you may need to ask one of the stores that carry Lake Placid in Geneva (Wegman’s, Byrne Dairy, Halsey’s, Tops, Fastrack) why they don’t have the new seasonal yet, and they’ll contact Lake Placid’s distributors (Wright-Wisner, I believe, serves the Rochester area). Sometimes it takes a little kick in the pants from customers to get the retailers to order a new seasonal! You could also take a trip to Rochester if you don’t feel like waiting. I made a few phone calls – I’ll let you know what I find out.

Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

We go into Camden, NJ – a city with one of the hightest crime rates in the US and we set up a truck full of clothing/blankets and table of food, and people walk up from the streets for food and clothing. Some of them are still high from their recent dose of the drug of their choice. It’s sad, but it’s nice to know we are helping in some way!

My husband and I have very different talents. He loves to teach and mentor kids and young adults, and he does so through leading a small group, and helping out in Children’s Church. I feel I am more gifted in the kitchen, so I get to work with the Meal Ministry to make meals for new mommies recovering from delivery, or individuals recovering from surgery or treatments. It’s great to be able to bless other families in this way!

I work with HIV/AIDS patients who are also have drug addictions. I place them in apartment buildings while they are trying to get clean and get their lives back on track. I would like to host a dinner where staff would cook for all the patients who successfully graduate from drug treatment programs to help them create connections with others in the program. Having a party like this can help these patients make long lasting friendships and hopefully through food and human connection keep clean them sober.

Every year I teach my kindergarten class about our Community. As part of the Community Unit, we learn it is our responsibility to take care of those around us. During the holidays we learn a cookie recipe and send our cookies up to the hospital down the block from our school. The cookies are delivered to children who are too sick to go home for the holidays. The cookies are sent with “Get Well” cards. “Cookie Day” is a very special day for my students, and we hope it is a special day for the children that receive our cookies.

This is such a great idea!
I want to help people who cant afford to shop at ritzy health food stores gain access to foods that are better for them.
The people who are in lower income areas should not be forced to eat foods filled with unhealthy fats, refined sugars and chemical additives because they can’t afford a lb of organic apples or the hormone free chicken is $20.00 a pound!
All of those unhealthy foods that are priced at .99 cents each or two for a dollar, directly contribute to the majority of the illnesses that have been proven to plague these areas (i.e. high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity etc.).
I’d love to see an organization that helps community gardens grow and nurture vegetables, and fruits without the use of harsh pesticides. Maybe a chance to have the extra veggies and fruits grown be sold at a local farmers market to educate on the importance of locally procured foods, and possibly have lecture series about how to eat well on a tight budget.

Angie,
Due to the current State of the ecomony many people have lost their jobs and healthcare coverage preventing them from feeding their children and affording their family’s medical coverage. I think it would be a great idea to help the financially struggling familes by starting a program “Support the Struggling hearts”. Having people donate heart healthy foods to keep their struggling hearts in good spirits while at the same time hoping to extend their live by donating home cooked meals from around the world.
