Rockland County charity: feeding, clothing and providing for those in need

People to People's Gateway Program
4 day supply of food items to meet basic nutritional needs

The Food Pantry, which is often the gateway program for many of those coming to us, provides a four-day supply of food items for individuals and families that are unable to meet their basic nutritional needs.

This includes:

families living below the poverty line
the working poor
the unemployed
executives unexpectedly out of work
seniors on a low, fixed income.

One of our staff members meets individually with prospective clients to assess their immediate needs and to help them make plans to overcome the challenges in their lives. This often results in referrals to other support services and organizations.

Can you help us feed your Rockland County neighbor?

How does the food pantry work?

Friday, early afternoon, a call came into our management office from an elderly tenant (in low income housing). With a tremor in his voice, he said he had no food and could we help him.

A quick trip to People to People, where Mrs. Caglione was both friendly and courteous, and his name was on the recipient list. Two large and heavy bags of groceries were delivered to his truly empty kitchen, and he was now okay.

What caused the problem? He’d gone into the hospital before social security check
delivery day, and when he was released he was not ambulatory.

You can’t eat a check; you can’t cash a check if you can’t walk; and you can’t grocery shop. The cupboard was bare.

Where would we have been without People to People?

And where would People to People be without our small donations?
