Project Hospitality is excited to partner again with Chelsea Financial Services of Staten Island for their 2020 Thanksgiving Food Drive that benefits Staten Island community members who need a little extra help this holiday season.
“Last year’s Thanksgiving Food Drive for Project Hospitality was a great success.” said Christopher (Chris) Vetrano, Registered Representative at Chelsea Financial Services (CHFS.com). “Project Hospitality is a great organization that not only orchestrates this amazing food drive for our neighbors and homeless in need; they also do year-round community outreach, education and youth programs to help improve the lives of those going through difficult times.”
Vetrano led last year’s food drive that provided hundreds of needed food items for fellow Staten Islanders. John Pisapia, President of Chelsea Financial added: “Let’s make this year’s food drive even bigger…Bring your non-perishable food to our office or use amazon.com, walmart.com or other online retailers to ship food items to our office, and we’ll deliver them en masse to Project Hospitality in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.”
