We are excited and grateful to partner with Food Gatherers to help families in need. If you are interested in receiving assistance, please contact Ms. Bashara at jbashara2@ycschools.us for more information.





Dear Partners, 

Food Gatherers is hosting four special emergency distributions to help increase access to food in our community during the federal government shutdown. We wanted you to have the flyer and information to share. Please note that Food Gatherers' network of pantries is usually the best option for people looking for assistance because you have a full variety of fresh foods and staples to offer. However, for those needing a little extra, or want the convenience of drive-thru, we are hosting these distributions. We are grateful for all you are doing to increase the amount of food you receive from us, and for many of you - increase your distribution times! If you haven't filled out the Federal Government Shutdown Response Survey, it's not too late. We still want to hear from you!

We are posting info about these drive-thru distributions on our website, hopefully by Friday Oct 31, and will share via social media as well.

As you continue to do outreach, please also direct people to our website: www.foodgatherers.org/findfood to help find a pantry near them.

Thank you,

The Community Food Programs Team
