Westchester County’s largest nonprofit hunger relief organization is still serving a record number of people, one year after the pandemic hit.
The pandemic is causing countless numbers of people to lose their jobs and struggle to put food on the table, and many turned to Feeding Westchester for help.
 
The need is still greater than ever one year later.
 
“Pre-COVID-19, Feeding Westchester’s programs and partners were feeding about 150,000 people each month. Right now, we’ve been maintaining steadily at about 300,000,” says Feeding Westchester President and CEO Karen Erren.

Our purpose is to feed, empower, and unite our community. Our mission, to nourish our neighbors in the fight against hunger. But, the distribution of this food is only possible because of your support.
