Stop & Shop and the Westchester County Bee-Line Kick Off Week-Long Feeding Westchester Stuff-a-Bus Food Drive.
Food Collected in 14 Stop & Shop Stores Across Westchester Will Aid Community Members Currently Facing Hunger.

With 1-in-3 Westchester households at risk of hunger, Feeding Westchester’s hunger-relief network serves 229,000 neighbor visits each month, including 80,000 child visits. Feeding Westchester’s network of nearly 300 agency partners and programs throughout the county distributed more than 19 million meals from July 2023 through June 2024, which equals the organization’s high mark seen during the COVID pandemic.
A Bee-Line bus will be stationed at the New Rochelle Stop & Shop store Oct. 25-26 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. with the goal of “stuffing-the-bus” with much-needed items, such as stuffing, boxed macaroni and cheese, gravy, canned fruits and vegetables, and juice, donated to Feeding Westchester by the generous members of the Westchester community.
