The Easter Food Box Distribution will not be a separate
distribution this year; it will be included when pantry clients pick up their
April food distribution. Individuals are asked to call the pantry at (585)
296-3757 before planning to come and pick up their April food distribution.
Please note that this is new protocol for all food pantry distributions until
further notice.
Extended hours during the week before Easter are: 10 a.m. to
1 p.m. Monday, April 6 through Wednesday, April 8; from 10 a.m. to noon
Thursday, April 9; and closed Friday, April 10.
The pantry will resume its normal operating hours on Monday,
April 13. Those hours are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays and
Fridays.
“We look forward to
serving the community in the same capacity they have come to know, just with a
slight twist this year in light of the virus outbreak,” said Eileen Nowak,
Catholic Charities director of Parish Outreach & Advocacy and all Catholic
Charities food pantries. “Our clients can still expect wonderful fixings for
Easter dinner, along with their regular monthly provisions. We hope these extra
hours in the days leading up to Easter are accommodating and helpful for
clients.”
Catholic Charities is committed to keeping its clients,
volunteers and employees safe, following the recommendations from the CDC,
state and local authorities. Although Catholic Charities falls under the
guidelines for an essential business, per Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s most recent
Executive Order regarding 100% workforce reduction, as many agency employees as
possible are and will be working from home. All health and safety protocols,
including increased sanitizing measures at all sites, also are being
maintained. For more information on Catholic Charities, as well as updates
