Food Pantry

The YWCA’s Food Pantry located in our Women’s Residence is a source of food security by providing supplemental food for the women we house. This allows women who have a fixed or low income to receive food and other items they may need.

Managed in-house by our case managers, the food pantry’s stock relies heavily on food donations and food drives. Donations for our food pantry are accepted Monday through Friday between 9am and 5pm.

If you are interested in collecting food donations for the Residence, assisting with food drives, or donating items, please reach out to Hester Mitchell at (914) 428-1130 ext. 0.
