Food Programs FAQs

Mobile food sites

Access to food, where you need it.

To make sure we provide healthy food to as many people as possible, we have mobile food sites around the city. The mobile sites are one more way we’re working to make it easier to access healthy food. 

Our hope is to reduce the worry of putting good food on the table, so that people can focus on other important needs in their lives.

Summer meals

July 1-August 30

When school is out in the summer, one source of a healthy meal for children is off the table. Our summer meals program has been filling the gap for over thirty years. 

Operating at sites throughout the cities of Schenectady and Rotterdam, the program provides fresh, healthy meals to hundreds of children and youth ages 18 and under, and offers the opportunity to spend time in the community outdoors.
