The Community Center of Northern Westchester is seeking donations of cereal and other items to help families eat right this summer.

In addition to cereal, the following items are also needed:

  • Canned fruit and vegetables
  • Dried and canned beans 
  • Hot and cold cereal 
  • Tuna and canned meat 
  • Cans of soup, beef stew and chili 
  • Pasta, rice and spaghetti sauce
  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Fruit juice 
  • Baby food and diapers 
  • Dry or shelf-stable milk
In addition to food items, the Community Center is also collecting new school supplies to provide hundreds of families in need with the items needed for school in the fall. Please click here for a full list of items needed.

School supplies should be dropped off during the month of July in order to allow volunteers time to prepare the bags in time for the start of school.

Please drop off food items and school supplies at the Community Center, 84 Bedford Road, Katonah, NY.
