Our food pantry remains at the very heart of our mission. As food insecurity continues to rise, we are now providing supplemental groceries to more than 3,200 families—neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet and rely on us during difficult times. In these uncertain days, we want to ensure we are never in a position where we have to turn anyone away due to a lack of food.

While we are deeply grateful that about one-third of our food is donated, we must purchase the remaining two-thirds from Feeding Westchester and other wholesale partners. Despite discounted pricing, we now spend more than $300,000 each year on food alone to meet the growing need—on top of the operational costs required to keep this vital program running.

We are hopeful that the generosity of our Circle donors will not only sustain this work, but also inspire others to give. With that collective support, the Center can continue to meet urgent needs while thoughtfully expanding our services—without ever compromising the food pantry that remains our foundation.
