Food Access Program @ Sylvester Manor

CHALLENGING TIMES CALL FOR A PROACTIVE RESPONSE

For nearly a decade, Sylvester Manor has been donating food from our farm to the Shelter Island Food Pantry and other pantries on the East End of Long Island. With a growing need for affordable fresh produce, we decided to partner with the Center for Advocacy Support and Transformation (CAST) to support our developing food access program. A leading hunger-relief organization in our community, CAST is able to reach families, individuals, veterans and seniors who need our help most.

CAST currently serves 35 families on Shelter Island but we know, based on census data, that there are many more food insecure families and individuals that are going hungry. The good news is that we have the capacity to grow more fruits and vegetables to serve our community. But we can’t do this without your help. YOUR SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY will enable us to grow more food, hire more employees, allow us to upgrade our refrigeration system, and make a difference in the lives and health of our neighbors.
