Welcome
More than 200,000 Westchester County residents are hungry or at risk of hunger. Half of them are seniors; a third of them are children.
Food Bank for Westchester is the supply and support center for approximately 200 frontline hunger-relief agencies throughout the county. Volunteers, funders, and food donors all help us collect millions of pounds of food from the food industry and the USDA and to purchase food to help feed Westchester’s hungry residents. We collect, warehouse and distribute six million pounds of food a year, and we provide 95% of all the food that front-line food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, child and adult day-care and residential centers, and other hunger-relief programs throughout Westchester County use to feed our hungry neighbors.
Through our programs and our distribution partners, and with the generous donations of time, funds and food from our supporters, we reach hungry people every day of the year.
Please reach out to us if you want to get involved. We appreciate your continued interest and support.
