Today is National Hunger Awareness Day, a reminder that hunger is not somewhere else. It is here in our own Westchester community.

One in three Westchester households is at risk of food insecurity, and many working families struggle to make ends meet.

Each week, The Pantry helps nourish about 700 families, or 2,000 neighbors, with nutritious food, dignity and care.

You can help. Drop off food, organize a food drive, become a Produce Partner, shop our Amazon Wish List, make a gift, or volunteer your time. Every bag, every dollar and every hour helps put food on the table for local families.

Happy National Egg Day! 🥚

At The Pantry, eggs are always in demand. They are simple, nutritious, protein rich, and one of the most useful foods we can offer our guests.

Do you keep chickens and sometimes have more eggs than you need? We would be grateful for your extras.

Fresh eggs and empty cartons may be dropped off at The Pantry’s double doors, behind the church off the parking lot, on Tuesday mornings from 9 AM to 12 noon.

Your egg donations help nourish our neighbors, one dozen at a time.
