I hope none of you mind that I am posting the following information on this forum.

I'm from Long Island and last night arsonists set fire and completely destroyed the kitchen and pantry of Hope for The Future Ministries, which was a lifeline for hungry families in the area. I know people are concentrating on the fundraiser for ALIPAC (which is extremely important too) - but even if you all were able to chip in between $1 - $5.00 - every little bit helps toward feeding these people.

I'm reaching out to as many people I know by posting this info onto as many forums I can, whether they are from NY or out of state since Thanksgiving is a national holiday. It was such a senseless act and I just feel such anger that I want to defy this kind of evil by trying to make GOOD win out (if that makes any sense!)

Anyway, I emailed the ministry and promised I would help out by posting this info online to raise awareness.

Here's the official website where you can donate if you so choose to.
