Food Drive: Last Day to Donate

Thursday, July 16, 2020 24 Tammuz 5780

9:00 AM - 5:00 PMTBE

Following up on the success of our previous donations to the Community Center of Northern Westchester, we are continuing our monthly effort to support this important organization. The Northern Westchester Community Center's Food pantry is open during the pandemic, providing food support in the form of pre-bagged packages. As you can imagine, the Pantry desperately needs supplies to meet its increased demand of families and individuals, many of whom have suffered recent job loss, and many of whom are coming to the food pantry for the first time.

Our next drive will take place from Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16. We will deliver the items on July 17. We are notifying you in case you want to add items for the food pantry to your monthly shopping list. Bins will be available outside our front door for your donations.

While any food donations, along with monetary donations, gift cards to supermarkets and gift cards to local restaurants are always welcome, here is a list of items especially in demand:

Canned vegetables
Canned fruit

Canned tuna
Pasta
Jars of Sauce
Rice
Peanut butter
Jam or Jelly
Hot and cold cereal
Shelf stable milk
Fruit juice
Canned or dried bean
Feminine Hygiene products
Diapers
Baby wipes
Rolls of toilet paper

Please check expiration dates before donating.

The Food Pantry volunteers are also urgently in need of reusable bags or paper grocery bags to pre-package and distribute food.

To be clear, we are not asking you to enter stores to buy goods at this time. But if you already have plans to shop or have groceries delivered, or have extra items at home, please consider donating to the Food Pantry. For more information, see: https://communitycenternw.org/

Drivers are needed to drop off the food on Friday, July 17. Please contact Diane Thaler if you are available to drive.
