Join us to Increase Food Access and Serve Families Throughout Schenectady

It is through our shared service and mission at SiCM that we continue to make great strides towards bridging the gaps of marginalization. Our joint work strengthens food security by increasing and securing access to healthy, culturally-appropriate, as-local-as-possible food. This is how we engage with community resilience, addressing poverty and other forms of disenfranchisement.

We do this, together, as an unequivocal response to the gifts we have as an interfaith collaborative.

Your support propels us into social justice, community building, intercultural engagement, and racial reconciliation. This work is made possible with your help, and now we need your help more than ever with your tax-deductible gift.

Join us to ensure families have access to healthy and local food in Schenectady County. What do we mean by food access? We strive to increase and sustain high quality, culturally-appropriate food for our guests at the Rev. Phil Food Pantry, while also increasing access to indigenous and culturally-relevant seeds and other materials for our farms. Be a hero and donate today.

Let’s talk about food access. Schenectady County is a food desert. There is significantly limited access to affordable and nutritious food.
