UJA Community wide drive for victims of hurricane Sandy

November 5, 2012 by The Inside Press

UJA-Federation of New York in Westchester is mobilizing a communitywide food and emergency-supply drive. A central force for communal planning and philanthropy, UJA-Federation helps to sustain the activities of nearly 100 health, human-service, educational, and community agencies. Every day, these community-based organizations provide a multitude of services that improve people’s lives.

Needed food items include baby food, boxed milk, and coffee creamer; canned fruits and vegetables; canned meat and fish; cereal, cookies, and crackers; coffee, teas, and hot chocolate; pasta, rice, and instant potatoes; ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise; soup and tomato sauce; vinegar, oil, and salad dressings; raisins, prunes, dried fruit, and nuts; and peanut butter.

Needed personal care items include toothbrushes, toothpaste, toiletries, diapers, wipes, baby formula, and hand sanitizer.

Needed emergency items include work gloves, flashlights, C and D batteries, and heavy-duty trash bags.

No glass containers, expired items, or items not listed can be accepted. Kosher food is appreciated.

There are two locations for food and supply drop-off. These are UJA-Federation’s White Plains Office at 701 Westchester Avenue, and UJA-Federation’s Mount Kisco Office at 27 Radio Circle Drive, starting Monday, November 5th. Collection times are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at both locations. Please call the Mount Kisco office at 1.914.666.9650 before dropping off due to sporadic office closings as a result of the storm.
