How did the pandemic impact the food distribution model?

COVID-19 turned our world upside down, severely restricting access to food for nearly everyone living in poverty, as well as the community in general.

Suddenly, we had to shift from inviting people into our facility to sit and eat and healthy meal to finding a way to package and deliver food to people’s homes.

Working with other organizations in Port Chester, we began with home delivery.

We also quickly evolved to providing mobile pantry sites which we called Pop-Up Pantries.

We continue to evolve the model, working to make access to food even easier for people living in neighborhoods that are not well served.
