County Harvest is a not-for-profit food rescue organization serving Westchester County, New York.

Although Westchester County is ranked as the 11th richest county in the United States, more than 200,000 people are at risk of hunger and 36% of those are children.  The County's hunger crisis has been compounded by the recent recession and ensuing vicious cycle of unemployment and homelessness.  Approximately 83,000 residents of Westchester County are living at or below the federal poverty level. 

Soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters are relying on food donations more than ever due to the economic crises and cuts in their funding.  Rescued food, of any amount, is a huge help to them.

County Harvest, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose volunteers rescue good, unused food from hotels, restaurants, caterers,country clubs, supermarkets, wholesale clubs, farms, bakeries, bagel shops and beverage distributors and deliver it immediately to soup kitchens, food pantries and homeless shelters in Westchester County. 

 

IMPORTANT NEWS

The Sandra & Lawrence Simon Family Foundation
has awarded a grant to County Harvest for a new van!!
 
We are ecstatic to announce that you can now see another Ford Transit Connect with our logo on it driven by our volunteers, bringing much needed rescued fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy and breads to many needy agencies in our area.  This incredible grant from the Sandra & Lawrence Simon Family Foundation is making it possible for us to dramatically increase the amount of food we rescue and in turn allow our agency partners to greatly expand their programs.

We're so grateful to the trustees of the Sandra & Lawrence Simon Family Foundation and to all of our volunteers and supporters for your help.  Your dedication to helping feed Westchester’s hungry by rescuing over 700,000 lbs. of food in just 2 and a half years has been nothing short of astounding.
