Our Washington Heights warehouse, which has only b Our Washington Heights warehouse, which has only been operational since January, has already enhanced our ability to serve our ever growing community of New Yorkers in need. With 3.5 times more dry storage, 10 times more freezer space, and 30 times more refrigeration capacity, we can purchase more food in bulk and take greater amounts of donated product. For example, we anticipate saving nearly $100,000 this year on bulk milk purchases alone. We’ve also accepted over 100,000 pounds of rescued food that we otherwise would not have been able to receive because of the limited storage space at our 86th Street facility. To further enhance our efficiency, we're raising $150,000 for additional electric motorized pallet jacks, a cardboard compactor, and automatic lift gates. Your support will help us continue to provide food quickly and efficiently to those who need it most!

Over the summer, we’ve been featuring various co Over the summer, we’ve been featuring various community partner sites across the city and highlighting their incredible work and our collaborations. This week, we’re excited to spotlight New York City Council Member @cmshaunabreu Abreu in Hamilton Heights!   Since October 2017, WSCAH has partnered with the City Council District 7 office to provide food to members of District 7. This partnership began with Council Member Mark Levine and continues with Council Member Shaun Abreu. Over the last seven years, we have collectively served nearly 2,200 households, distributing over 220,000 pounds of healthy food. Members of WSCAH’s Benefits Access Team attend the weekly distributions to help our customers sign up for essential benefits, such as SNAP (formerly Food Stamps). In October 2023, Council Member Abreu’s Office became a Community Hub, offering a more convenient food distribution pick-up point for WSCAH customers who were previously receiving food from our Upper West Side pantry but live closer to Hamilton Heights. . . . . #wscah #NewYorkCityCouncil #ShauAbreu #partnership #Harlem #HamiltonHeights #foodasmedicine #foodsecurity #fightagainsthunger #endhunger #community #dignity #choice #nonprofit #food #nyc #nonprofitnyc #nutrition #nutritioneducation #foodsecurity #foodpolicy #healthyfood
Thank you to the dedicated volunteers from our com Thank you to the dedicated volunteers from our community partner distribution site, @schoolinthesquare (S2), a tuition-free public charter school for students in Washington Heights and Inwood.  Since our partnership began in March 2021, together we have assisted 740 unique households with over 318,000 pounds of healthy food. The S2 volunteers packed fresh produce at our 180th Street distribution hub, and we thank them for their positive impact on our community. . . . . #wscah #partnership #SchoolintheSquare #charterschool #education #foodeducation #volunteerism #volunteering #180thstreet #foodasmedicine #foodsecurity #fightagainsthunger #endhunger #community #dignity #choice #nonprofit #food #nyc #nonprofitnyc #nutrition #nutritioneducation #foodsecurity #foodpolicy #healthyfood
Earlier this week, the WSCAH team held an inspirin Earlier this week, the WSCAH team held an inspiring all-staff retreat at @BrooklynGrange, a sustainable rooftop farm. Given our commitment to providing over 50% fresh produce, understanding the journey from farm to table is essential. We enjoyed a tour of the farm and actively participated in harvesting fresh peppers and tomatoes. This hands-on experience deepened our connection to the food we distribute. The retreat was a valuable opportunity to align our goals, enhance our collective vision, and reaffirm our commitment to serving our community with dignity. . . . . #wscah #ShuanAbreu #BenefitsAccess #partnership #communitypartners #collaboration #fightagainsthunger #endhunger #community #dignity #choice #nonprofit #food #nyc #nonprofitnyc #nutrition #nutritioneducation #foodsecurity #foodpolicy #healthyfood

Our team facilitates everything from enrolling individuals in programs like SNAP to connecting them with other necessary resources. Marbin, a long-time customer, says: “WSCAH has supported me for 17 years. They’ve been instrumental in assisting me with SNAP and Medicare applications, including applying, reapplying, and managing documentation. Since the pandemic, navigating the digital paperwork has been overwhelming, but WSCAH’s team has guided me through every step, resolving any issues I’ve faced.” . . . . #wscah #CustomerTestimony #BenefitsAccess #SNAP #fightagainsthunger #endhunger #community #dignity #choice #nonprofit #food #nyc #nonprofitnyc #nutrition #nutritioneducation #foodsecurity #foodpolicy #healthyfood
