Feeding our bodies and spirit.
We offer several free food programs with the help of community organizations and our staff. We have partnered with Feeding Westchester, a local food bank, to distribute free, nutritious food to our site locations on select days. We also have food pantries at several of our sites open to patients during business hours. Please consult below to see our locations’ food pick-up schedule, location address, and hours.
