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 allows 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.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU!

HOPE Community Services extends its sincere gratitude to our dedicated staff and volunteers who helped make our Senior Meal Delivery a tremendous success yesterday!

To everyone who cooked, packed dinner bags, delivered meals door-to-door, made telephone calls, and to our dedicated Senior Dinner Delivery Coordinator who helped bring everything together, THANK YOU!

Your teamwork, compassion, and commitment made a meaningful difference in the lives of our seniors throughout New Rochelle.

Through this effort, we delivered 190 meals. That is 190 opportunities to share kindness.

Special thanks to the New Rochelle Police Department (NRPD). Your collaboration and commitment to community service help strengthen the bonds between our residents and those who serve and protect them.

A special thank you to AJ’s Burgers for your support and contribution to this effort.

Together, we delivered 190 meals, touched 190 lives, and demonstrated what is possible when a community comes together with compassion and purpose.

With heartfelt appreciation and gratitude,
HOPE Community Services
