The Child Care Council of Westchester will distribute food on behalf of Feeding Westchester!
This Friday afternoon, March 20th, from noon until 4 PM, volunteers will distribute 14-pound bags of shelf
durable goods to those in need at no cost.
The distribution will take place in the parking lot in the back of the Child Care Council's office at 313 Central Park Avenue, Scarsdale. Those arriving to pick up food should drive up the hill to the back of the building and follow posted signs.
In the interest of proper social distancing, we ask
those arriving to remain in their car and open the trunk for a volunteer to place a bag inside. We will
need to know the size of the family for which you are picking up the food, but we will not be asking for
names or identification.

Child Care Council of Westchester at (914) 761-3456 x104.
