It has been a month and a half since the pandemic-extended SNAP benefits ended, and recipients and food pantries are feeling the squeeze.
News 12’s Jonathan Gordon was joined by Andre Thompson, the vice president of Impact Programing for Feeding Westchester, to discuss the increase in demand for food.

Feeding Westchester serves Westchester County, providing food to a hunger-relief network of nearly 300 partners and programs. With a mission to nourish our neighbors in the fight against hunger, the organization sources and distributes good, nutritious food and other resources to wherever it is needed most.
In fiscal year 2024, Feeding Westchester provided more than 23 million pounds of food equivalent to more than 19 million meals through soup kitchens, food pantries, schools, shelters, residential programs, and mobile distributions. That served 229,000 neighbor visits – including visits from children, seniors, veterans, and hardworking families – every month. The nonprofit, a 4-star Charity Navigator organization, is committed to creating a community where all people have access to the food they need today, and the fundamental resources to build a better tomorrow.
Feeding Westchester is located at 200 Clearbrook Road, Elmsford, NY 10523. For more information, visit Why Donate.
