Nonprofit Provides Food To Families Affected By Pandemic

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, NY — The new coronavirus pandemic has shut down businesses and put people out of work.

Even in a county as wealthy as Westchester, there are those who are having trouble finding enough food to eat for their families.

An organization headquartered in Hastings-on-Hudson — Family-to-Family — is helping to navigate the new reality by working with local and national partners to help those in need.

Founder and Executive Director Pam Koner said her hunger and poverty relief organization is doing its best to help those hit hardest by the coronavirus.

"Donations are most needed to Family-to-Family COVID-19 Emergency Food Fund, which helps … families locally and nationally with monthly groceries," she said in an email to Patch.

The organization's goal is to continue to support the growing number of newly struggling families by giving them a monthly food supplement and supporting partner organizations who can provide groceries and other necessities, such as diapers, toiletries and paper goods, to anyone who needs them.

Donations can be made here.

You can choose to allocate your donation either for Family-to-Family's national COVID-19 relief effort or for the local Hastings-on-Hudson effort.
