A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone that has helped STARTFRESH NY to get to where we are today. We accomplished many of our goals that we had set for our organization. We had another very successful Holiday program. In 2011 STARTFRESH NY mission will be to assist the large number of dislocated and newly unemployed individuals through our series of trainings. We have just added SECURITY OFFICER TRAINING to our portfolio of trainings. In addition we are working with Goodwill Industries placing people directly into employment. It is our goal to train and place and assist as many families as possible through this economic crisis. I believe that the most powerfull weapon to combat poverty is support and education. We believe and know by our past successes that this is the time to change. Think outside the box and look towards the future occupations that will be in high demand. We anticipate adding additional trainings and expanding our Job Development team.

I would also like to thank the following companies and organizations people for their ongoing support
The Kenneth Cole Foundation, Roca Wear, Polo Ralph Lauren, The Today Toy Show Drive

Your on support has made it possible for us to feed the hungry, provide clothing, facilitate our Holiday program and bring much needed support to the underserved populations in our communities.

I would like to Thank helpusa.org for it's initial support that made the dream a reality. It's dedication and on going support is vital for us to continue to fufill our Mission.
