ELMSFORD—Volunteers for the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation were “all-hands-on-deck” recently at Feeding Westchester, the county’s largest food pantry that supplies 300 local programs and organizations throughout Westchester.
Ten HGRF volunteers packed 575 bags for their Senior Grocery Program, which provides fresh produce and other foods to seniors and people with disabilities. The program serves 51,500 annually.
“Your team’s care and attentiveness throughout the pack was very appreciated,” said Gabrielle Bilik, Associate, Corporate, Foundation & Community. “We are thankful for all the ways you help to support the mission of Feeding Westchester.”
Based in Elmsford, Feeding Westchester distributed a record-breaking 23.2 million pounds of food last year and served 19.4 million meals to neighbors in need. Each month, Feeding Westchester also conducts about 229,000 neighborhood visits, providing support to anyone in need. In addition, the organization recovered some 4.5 million pounds of food, preventing it from going to waste. More than 40% of the food distributed is comprised of fresh produce.
Other Feeding Westchester Programs include: Child-Feeding Programs that serve some 94,000 children through school food pantries and day cares; Emergency Food Providers for those in urgent need; Nutrition Education Program, educating more than 1,900 participants on healthy eating and meal preparation; and Mobile Food Panty and Fresh Markets with 500 annual stops in underserved areas, supporting almost 64,000 people.
Last year, Feeding Westchester completed phase two of a multi-year expansion plan. Phase one added 12,000 square feet for storage and receiving, and phase two, a 6,500 square-foot expansion, which now includes a new sorting room, office and meeting space. Two additional phases will include expansion of refrigeration systems, dry storage and loading docks.
The non-profit receives 32% of its support from the public—$12.1 million in donations. Only $6.6 million, or 17% of its revenue is from government-related support and $19.2 million, or 51% comes from other sources, such as grants.
Feeding Westchester is part of the Feeding America Network, that includes more than 200 food banks serving every state.
