HELPING THE HUNGRY
Who We Serve
We provide food to the hungry in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.
How We Help
We do our best to be a healthy pantry, because our clients want to follow their doctors' guidelines . We provide frozen meat, dry beans and grains, fresh vegetables, and other important staples.
When We Open
Our distributions are the second Thursday of each month, from 8:15 to 10:30 AM and from 6 to 7:30 PM. We sometimes shift weeks for major holidays, as announced. If schools are closed or delayed for weather, we reschedule to the next day, from 8:15 to 10:30 AM with no evening distribution. -- check Facebook.
How We Do It
We are supported entirely by volunteers, with financial contributions and food donations from synagogues, churches, community organizations, foundations and individuals. Monetary donations are most helpful, because we can then purchase items our clients need. But food items from our list are also welcome. Also, please note that we do not accept baby food, baby formula, nutritional supplements, opened or expired goods.
Will your corporation match your gift? Double your impact!
We are a non-denominational public charity, a 501 (c) 3 corporation.
