MOOSEWOOD HOSTS FUNDRAISER BRUNCH FOR ITHACA FREE CLINIC
January 18, 2010 -- On Sunday, January 31, Moosewood will host a brunch to raise funds for the Ithaca Free Clinic. Brunch will include coffee, juice, assorted breads, soup, and a choice of vegetarian or vegan entrees. The restaurant will offer two seatings, one from 10:30 to noon and another from noon to 1:30. To ensure a reservation, you can purchase a ticket in advance by stopping by the Clinic or by calling or e-mailing Betsye Caughey, Outreach Coordinator, at 607.330.1253 ([email protected]). If they do not sell out in advance, tickets will also be available for purchase at the door. Tickets are $18, or a reasonable contribution for those unable to afford the full fee. According to Bethany Schroeder, President of the Board of Directors of the Clinic's parent organization, Ithaca Health Alliance, "Now is a great time to support the work of the Free Clinic. Our patient visits are up by 13 percent over 2008, and we must make every effort to expand Clinic space in the upcoming year. Supporting the Clinic also shows support for the needs of our neighbors and friends, who have lost their jobs, hours at their jobs, and sometimes their health insurance benefits, too." It is the mission of the Ithaca Health Alliance to facilitate access to health care for all, with a focus on the needs of the un- and underinsured.
