Thanks to generous donations. 440 cans of soup and other items and $300 were given from the Super Bowl of Caring at FPCY, Brookside School and the Lakeland Fire Department. We also received $750 from the offering taken at the Presbytery meeting at FPCY.

Item-of-the-Month: PASTA (all varieties) The majority of the food we offer at our Pantry comes to us from Feeding Westchester. Some items we like to distribute are in short supply. Your contribution of the item-of-the-month can help fill the gap!

Welcome to our New Pantry Coordinators: Courtney Donnelley and Liam McAuliffe.

Next Pantry Dates: March 14 & 28 9 to 11am
