Thank You! Thank you to ALL our soup kitchen volunteers throughout the year. You provide a great service to people, cooking and serving a hot meal and offering conversation and caring. During this winter season, CAP added a fourth day and opened the soup kitchen on Fridays. We offered not only lunch but shelter during the cold season. The 17 weeks that we were open on Fridays coincided with the operation of the homeless shelter (Brewster Emergency Shelter Partnership). We recognize our Friday volunteers who stepped up and made this possible. Please visit their websites to learn more about these generous donors::

The Helpful Guide To American Schools
The Helpful Guide to American Schools was created to assist immigrant parents in their quest to support their children enrolled in local schools. It provides general information on school policies, culture & norms, and is a tool to assist children assimilating to the American school system.
The guide was created by Putnam CAP with the valuable assistance of the Social Workers from Carmel & Brewster High Schools- Karin Brenner (CHS), Henrietta Lodge (BHS).
