This is a time of year when people from every corner of the community band together to collect food and clothing for the Community Center of Northern Westchester, and rally to help families in need.
Here are just some of the food and clothing drives that brought so many proud faces through our doors this month, arms full of loaded boxes and bags to give.
The people pictured here collectively brought 2,024 pounds of food to our shelves, helping to make the holidays special for many families.
Many thanks to Katonah Elementary, Pound Ridge Community Church, the Lewisboro Lions and Lissie’s Katonah Playschool for their generosity and support.
We will share more of these drives in the weeks to come.
