Our Regular Program

monthly meals

Each month we offer a "monthly meal" bag which provides ingredients for a new recipe. The "meal idea" is aimed towards using less-used nutritional items (e.g. dried beans) as well as seasonally available vegetables. In August, for example, it's "Black Bean Salad"

regular program

We provide three days worth of food and personal care items up to twice a month for needy individuals and families who live in the Town of Rochester, plus those beyond if still within zip 12446.. Clients choose from a list of nutritionally balanced options, including frozen meats, poultry and seafood as well as fresh produce. Once a month gift cards for gas/diesel are available to help with transport. The regular program operates on Wednesday (3:30-5:30 PM) and Friday (10 AM to Noon)

fresh produce

Thanks to donations from local farms, we have an abundance of fresh produce which we place at the entry for folks to help themselves.
