Nourishment.
Community.
Hope.
Our mission is to provide nutritional support, necessary resources, and personal connection to people struggling with food insecurity in the west side of Rochester...

Our Food Programs
We’re scaling our operations to meet increased need. On top of a 20% rise in demand over last year, we anticipate disruptions in SNAP benefits that will make things even harder for families.
Lunch is served Monday through Saturday from 12:00–1:00 PM at 681 Brown St., Rochester, NY, and our food pantry is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (by appointment only).
