Don’t forget to bring some Food Pantry Items in this Sunday.
The Katonah Food Pantry at the Community Center of Northern Westchester provides supplemental food and clothing to all who need it. The Center also offers employment counseling and classes, and refers those in need to appropriate resources. The center continually identifies and assesses the changing needs and resources of the community, modifying its programs accordingly to meet the needs of its clients in the best possible ways.
The Church of the Good Shepherd supports the Food Pantry by collecting supplies and food. In 2010 we collected over 250 pounds of food and supplies. In 2011 we collected over 1000 pounds. A very large basket/bin for food and supplies is located in the breezeway next to the Parish Hall. When it is filled at the end of each month it is brought to the Food Pantry by a volunteer from the parish. During Lent, we fill the basket every Sunday. A list of supplies that are needed is below. Please ensure that all supplies and food that you donate is not expired.
Dried black and pinto beans
Cold cereal
Tuna
Canned beef stew
Spaghetti sauce
