Your Impact
Your support connects community members like Helena and Dana to essential resources. It helps give them the peace of mind they deserve and the opportunities they need to thrive.
Helena has been using Sycamore Collaborative's food access programs to support her father and daughter since moving to Schenectady from downstate. Our food pantry offers essential groceries, including produce and protein, to community members year-round. Helena has discovered the food resources she previously lacked, allowing her to meet social needs and focus on community building. She now collaborates with her neighbors to share good groceries that their families might not use, helping to keep a low-waste apartment building!
Dana and her family use our free lunch service during the summer months when accessing food can be challenging for households with children. She found out about the program through her kids' school, Zoller Elementary. At the school, they also receive education on waste diversion through our composting efforts in partnership with SCSD’s Farm to School, and they apply those tips at home! Thanks to food and sustainability initiatives like these, Dana and her family can look ahead at the many possibilities of thriving together.
