Why we support the Community Center:

The Community Center of Northern Westchester is at the core of our community. When we first moved to the area it was a tiny little “engine that could”, collecting dry goods and clothes and has grown to house a food pantry, a huge donation center for clothes and baby goods, plus classes and support and job learning and even a retail store. They send volunteers to collect the food we have left at the end of day and put it in the hands of those in need, helping to allow us to put it to good use as well as making our kitchen sustainable and zero waste! Nothing feels better than that. Do you have something to donate? A way to give? Check them out and get involved.
