Croton-on-Hudson, NY The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, presented a check for $1,500 to the Croton/Cortlandt Food Pantry.

Founded in 1983, the Pantry is now located at the Holy Name of Mary Church. It serves clients from Croton, Cortlandt, Peekskill, Montrose, Buchanan and Verplanck and is open every Saturday morning year-round. The pantry works with various individuals and organizations throughout the local community who help to stock shelves, pack grocery and produce bags and organize food drives, fundraises and other events.

Feeding Westchester, the county food bank, supplies the pantry, which also works with local stores including Shoprite, Bagels on Hudson and Baked by Susan for additional supplies. The Rotary Club of Croton-on-Hudson not only helps pack produce but delivers Thanksgiving turkeys.

“We are so thankful to the HG Realtor Foundation for this donation, which will be used primary for diapers and women’s sanitary supplies, for which there is always a need,” said Jordy Bell, of the Croton/Cortlandt Food Pantry.
