HOPE Community Services

HOPE Community Services HOPE’s mission is to help low income residents maintain adequate nutrition and sustainability. One woman, Mary Lou McNaney decided to take a stand.

In 1984, the homeless population in New Rochelle, New York became a problem far too large to be overlooked. She reached out to churches, synagogues and community groups in an effort to fight poverty and hunger in New Rochelle. Soon enough, she created HOPE. Twenty Five years later, HOPE still strives to Help Our People Eat. Unlike many kitchens, HOPE not only provides its clients with food but all

ows them to maintain a sense of dignity in a friendly atmosphere helping HOPE kitchen feel less like a charity and more like a family. HOPE also provides for more than just the basic needs. Clothing, referential services, translational services, and citizenship courses are just a few of the many things HOPE can provide. Now the largest emergency food program in Westchester County, HOPE is supported by a network of volunteers who make it possible to serve meals from the soup kitchen and distribute groceries through the food pantry.
