On Wednesday November
9, 2007 the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts of Hamden dropped off their
first load of food to the local food pantry and soup kitchen. The
students, families and friends of the Academy have generously donated
over 25 bags of non-perishable food to date and continue to donate on
a weekly basis. The Academy thanks all the people who have helped and
who continue to support this food drive. There
are many people who have very limited resources available to them and
this year seems to be worse than before. With skyrocketing fuel
prices, which basically drives up the cost of everything, it becomes
financially difficult to survive during the colder weather. There will
be more people this year relying on outside help to survive these
somewhat difficult times. The
food pantries as well as soup kitchens need as much support as they
can get to help the people in need. The Academy of Kempo hopes that
the general public will also help in their annual food drive. The
Academy is offering its students a free semi-private lesson for any
five non-perishable items they donate and offering two weeks of free
lessons to non-students (limited to one give away per person and can
not be combined). The Academy is hoping that this will encourage more
people to give, and of course if you wish to give without accepting
the offer that is also encouraged. The
Academy of Kempo Martial Arts is accepting donations now through the
end of the holiday season, at any one of their donation center located
throughout Connecticut. For more information please contact us at (203) 288-9990.
