LCR Alumni Gives Back: Connect Center for Youth.

Join members of the LCR Alumni Committee for a morning of volunteering at the Connect Center for Youth. Help package and deliver meals for students in Cohoes through our BackPack program! In conjunction with the Regional Food Bank, we provide qualifying students with healthy weekend meals to ensure that they are able to start school each week, ready to learn. Volunteers will assist in packing each BackPack and then deliver the bags to the student's home in Cohoes. Other tasks that we may ask people to help with include breaking down boxes we receive and moving our overstock inventory to ensure that we are following a "first in, first out" system with the food we receive. 

About the Connect Center for Youth:  our mission and vision is to break the cycle of poverty by connecting youth to their full potential and to be a community hub for connection and empowerment.
