Our Next Drive-thru Food Drive is June 7
The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (June 7) from 9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. In addition to the Pittsford Food Cupboard, donations also will support the Willow Domestic Violence Center and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry. Rotarians and Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.
The Pittsford Food Cupboard plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity within our community. Donations help ensure that local families have access to essential food items and will promote well-being and stability. Though all food items are needed, the cupboard’s most needed current items are cereal; spaghetti sauce and pasta; hearty soups, chili or stew; meals in a can (pasta and meat); tuna, chicken or other canned meat; dish soap; and bathroom tissue. The cupboard also maintains a list of current needs.
The Willow Domestic Violence Center has provided services for the Greater Rochester community for over 40 years, each year reaching more than 15,000 people in Monroe County. The center is the only New York State certified domestic violence center in the county.

The Oak Tree Pantry serves those with food insecurity in the Nazareth community. The pantry has an ongoing need for granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap and other hygiene products.
The drive also will collect donations of gently used, current magazines for distribution to area human service organizations.

At Rotary, promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.
We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.
We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice.
