Scarsdale 10583: As you may know, food pantries have been hit especially hard during this pandemic. While they typically depend on restaurants and grocery stores to donate their extra inventory, recent shutdowns and the hoarding of food has significantly cut their supply. Additionally, the demand for food has surged, as an unprecedented number of people face unemployment. The New York Times has a great article that summarizes the dire circumstances.
To help food-insecure people in Westchester, I am collecting food items and delivering them to the Bread of Life Food Pantry, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which feeds over 10,000 country residents weekly. Everyday between 10am to 6pm, I place a food donation box at the end of my driveway (9 Wayside Lane).
While I initially received many contributions, the number of donations has begun to trickle. I ask for your help publicizing my initiative. Your assistance would benefit many who are struggling to feed themselves and their loved ones.
Best,
