At just 22 years old, Natalie is navigating motherhood for the first time. Six months ago, she welcomed her son, Elijah, and with that joy came new challenges she never expected. 

Before becoming a mom, Natalie never needed help finding food. Today, rising costs, limited childcare, and unreliable transportation have made even basic necessities harder to manage. Groceries, rent, and baby supplies add up quickly, and every dollar matters. 

That’s where Feeding Westchester, and supporters like you, make a difference. 

Through the Carver Center, one of Feeding Westchester’s partner agencies, Natalie can access nutritious food for herself each week. It may seem simple, but to Natalie, it means relief. 

“It’s one less thing I have to worry about,” she says. 

Because food is covered, Natalie can focus on caring for Elijah, searching for a job, and working toward her goals: stable employment, reliable transportation, and a safe home for her family. 

Your generosity doesn’t just provide food. It provides dignity, stability, and hope during a critical moment in a young mother’s life. 

Thanks to you, Natalie doesn’t have to face hunger alone, and Elijah has what he needs today, while his mom builds a better tomorrow.
