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).
