A great deal at the Bronx Ale House is reinforcing the idea of beer as panacea. All day tomorrow, Nov. 17, if you bring one can of food to the Kingsbridge Heights bar’s, “Cans 4 Cans Food Drive,” you’ll get a free can of craft beer. The food will go to Part of the Solution’s Thanksgiving food pantry.
Part of the Solution, better known as POTS, is a nonprofit multi-service community organization that offers a food, legal services, showers and haircuts to the poor.
The food will help feed a growing number of people in the community who need it on Thanksgiving. POTS said it’s seen usage of its services grow by 88 percent from 2005 to 2010.
POTS says it needs canned protein like tuna, salmon and beans the most.
After the first can, each additional can of food will get you 20 percent off your next beer. That means you can guzzle so that on Thanksgiving, others can gobble.

In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
