a cookbook like no other!
With the Corona virus blanketing our community in Queens, Martin Van Buren High School couldn’t just be a bystander. These trying times demanded something much more, it required a powerful response. We could succumb to all the pain and negativity we are surrounded by, or we could rally together with a call to action to help turn life’s deepest challenges into opportunities.
Our goal was to find a mission that would reconnect our community to rise above all our fears and doubts and find a way to embrace what we have, and what’s most important, and share it with the world. That was the inspiration behind The MVBHS Comfort Food Cookbook.
Our objective is to raise money for those students whose families have been hit hardest by the pandemic and also to find a way to spread joy into our lives, and share this with everyone else we know and love. The result is an exceptional collection of 168 special recipes, representing 60 different countries, contributed by our incredibly diverse community, from both here in Queens, the melting pot of the world, and from all around the globe. These dishes are so special they put a smile on one’s face as soon as one knows it’s on the menu.
The MVBHS community is intent on spreading a dose of much needed hope as part of our Million Cookbook Giveaway. We are doing this as a token of thanks for the global support we are receiving, and to provide the only hug possible in a period of social distancing, one of comfort and reassurance.

WE ARE OFTEN ASKED, "HOW CAN I HELP MVB?" HERE IS A LIST OF POSSIBILITIES:
|
COLLEGE CONNECTIONS:
With our seniors about to take the great leap and begin their college careers, it's a good time to reflect on our own experience of just how daunting that transition was. So we have begun a program to match our alumni who attended the colleges that our seniors are about to attend. If you went to any often following schools and are willing to be a guide to what lies ahead for these students, please contact us. Fordham Binghamton Boston College SUNY New Paltz Stony Brook Syracuse Siena Quinnipiac Susquehanna Manhattan Temple Albany Hofstra And any of the CUNY schools |
INTERNSHIPS NEEDED:
We are always on the lookout for summer and school year internships for our students so they can explore the work environment and learn what employers need from future employees.
let us know at mvbhsalumns@gmail.com if you can donate or help with any of these items or internships.
