For several decades, Sam and Karen Colombo, as a team, dedicated their lives to helping people throughout our community. What a difference they made together! We are forever grateful. Sadly, Karen passed in 2023, and Sam passed on May 22, 2025. But their legacies will live on through the example they set, and through the Karen and Sam Colombo Memorial Service Award, given each year to a dedicated volunteer who exemplifies their spirit with the annual Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger.
We are also grateful to Chris Colombo and the Colombo family for encouraging everyone to celebrate Karen and Sam's lives and their passion by supporting our cause, as we help our riends and neighbors in need through the Croton-Cortlandt Food Pantry, Croton Caring, Caring for the Hungry & Homeless of Peekskill, Hillside Food Outreach, Feeding Westchester, WhyHunger, Institut Montfort School for Deaf and Deaf-Blind Children in Haiti, and Carolyn Belshe Orphanage in Mozambique.
Your donation in any amount is greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference! As Harry Chapin often said, "When in doubt, do something!" Thank you, Karen and Sam! And thank you so much for your support in their memory!
