This summer, like every summer for the last 43 years, 22 bright, college-bound New York City high school students will leave the hot, noisy city and come to bucolic Chappaqua for July, where they will live with host families during the week as they attend classes. They return to their own families in the City on the weekend.

Greeley veteran science teacher and varsity soccer coach Bob Oddo spent four weeks last summer teaching English to the novice monks of Luang Prabang in Laos. He bathed – and was bathed by—an elephant, had to guess his way home in the dark after a visit to his students’ lodging four miles out of town, plunged into waterfalls, visited golden images of Buddha in rock caves, and spent a lot of time in an internet cafe learning what he would teach next.

At this festive time of year, your mailbox is probably bulging with smiling Amazon boxes, mouthwatering catalogs from stores you never heard of, and the all-natural fruitcake basket from your aunt in Duluth. You’re probably also blessed with dozens of requests from worthy organizations. It can be hard to decide who to help and how much, but if you’re looking locally, consider the Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

The Food Bank of Westchester is the supply and support center for over 200 hunger-relief programs in the county. It solicits, acquires and warehouses donated and purchased food and groceries. It is located in a huge warehouse in Millwood that does not serve clients directly. Instead, the Food Bank is the primary supplier for an emergency food-distribution network that exists throughout Westchester. This network, which serves roughly 200,000 county residents, includes food pantries, soup kitchens, day-care centers, residential shelters and other programs.
