Community Action Partnership (CAP) sponsored food distribution for area residents at Millbrook’s Grace Episcopal Church this summer, with the help of Annie LeBron, family resource coordinator for CAP’s Dover office; Grace Church immigrant outreach coordinator Evelyn Garzetta; and Millbrook Business Association President and Village Trustee Kevin McGrane. Volunteers from Dutchess County Mutual Aid and the Dutchess County Food Bank helped. CAP has been operating since 1964, and along with many other community agencies and private volunteer groups has helped to provide food to those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
