Donations for Queens Feeds Hospitals

Join us in our goal to raise at least $1000 to feed healthcare workers at hospitals in our area.

Queens Feeds Hospitals is a great organization that has been created to raise money, feed essential healthcare workers, and support local restaurants all at the same time. It’s a great way to do a whole lot of collective good, and we’re happy to help support this cause with all of you. The $1000 goal feeds 70 healthcare workers, but of course the more we raise the more we can contribute.

How to donate?

We’re glad you asked! Simply send you payment online the same way you pay for your shares, via PayPal. Two rules for payments:

  1. Remember to choose “Sending to a friend” so PayPal won’t charge a fee
  2. In the Note section add “Donation for Queens Feeds Hospitals” so we know what it’s for

Follow us on Facebook & Instagram to see updates!

Important CSA Updates!

Lots of dates and great stuff to kick off our season this year! Please make note:

Vegetable start date has changed to June 6th. We’ve had a particularly rainy season so far, and shifting the start date allows for a stronger crop! The extra week share will be made up somewhere in the season, date TBD for now.

Share payments due May 13th. Payments and final numbers need to be sent to our vendors; please pay by Monday to secure your share.

Subsidy applications due May 17th. The CSA Subsidy program is amazing–it works out to roughly $12/week for vegetables, or $3.50/week for fruit. Click here to learn more.

2019 Summer Season Q&A is May 30th. Come to the Sunnyside Community Services (same place you pick up your veggies) for a Q&A with members of the core group. If your new to the CSA, you’ll learn all you need to know about pick-ups, volunteer hours, and CSA events. For returning members, come to brush up on how things run, ask anything that’s been on your mind, or share ideas!
