Local Food Resources

In these financially challenging times, many families are facing difficulties with having consistent access to food for all members of their household. There are resources available to provide relief for those facing food insecurity. The 2-1-1 hotline is a great, confidential free resource that will help provide a list of local food suppliers. 2-1-1 also serves as a confidential, comprehensive and primary entry point into community service information, referral and assistance. One can call 2-1-1 from any type of telephone throughout the area to speak with a professionally trained, paid call specialist 24 hours, 7 days a week. You can also text for help by texting your zip code to 898211. Translation services are available in over 200 languages. In addition, the database that is utilized to refer callers is always available to the public at 211hudsonvalley.org

What 211 can help with:

Basic needs: Food banks, shelters, and assistance with rent and utility bills.
Health and mental health: Healthcare programs, counseling, substance abuse support, and suicide prevention.
Employment and education: Job training, financial assistance, and education programs.
Family and elder care: Childcare, elder care, and domestic violence resources.
Disaster assistance: Information and resources during community emergencies.
