UCIAF CARES

This year’s UCIAF’s Memorial Day Food Drive collected two car loads of food, and delivered an additional $950 donation to Ulster County Community Action. Eliza and Jan from Community Action received our ‘big check’ from UCIAF members Tony Marmo (President/Co-founder), Anthony Tampone (1^st Vice President), Mary Tuma (Community Car Coordinator), and Deb Tampone (Board Member at Large).

Each month UCIAF delivers a “Member Donated” complete meal to the Veteran’s Patriot House in Kingston.

Mary Tuma picks up August dinner from John Ioia Jr. at Michael’s Diner.
