HVCS just received word that we will receive a $2,500 grant from HPNAP (Hunger Prevention & Nutrition Assistance Program) to support our emergency food closet and Green Thumb food distribution program at the Mosaic Center in Mt. Vernon. This grant will allow us to continue to give stipends to peer outreach workers to assist us on Green Thumb food distribution days, which are typically the busiest of the month. Special thanks to our peers, Mosaic staff, and THRIVES nutritional program workers who do an amazing job getting fresh produce to hungry families so quickly!

Tuesday, March 11th, 2014Last year we received a $2,000 grant from the Junior League of Bronxville to help feed hungry families in Lower Westchester. Luckily we had other donations to stock our Mount Vernon food closet until recently, but the time came when we needed more non-perishable foods. Our Education & Prevention Director, Barbara Bennet, took a trip to the nearby Sam’s Club and loaded up two dollies with basics for the Mosaic Center. Our sincere thanks go out to the Junior League of Bronxville for assisting us to feed food-insecure families in Mount Vernon!
