NEWS & EVENTS

Join us for Plentiful Plates 2026, reimagined this year as a seated luncheon at the iconic Tavern on the Green in Central Park. Thank you to all of our generous supporters who make continue to donate their time and resources to ensuring every WSCAH customer can access the healthy food they need and deserve.

We know that there is high demand for meaningful volunteerism around the holidays, and VolunteerFest is our answer. From Friday, November 21st through Saturday November 22nd, WSCAH will host 24 hours of volunteerism packing and distributing healthy food to families in need. These opportunities include options for people ages 6 and up.

The government shutdown and cuts to critical programs mean more families are going hungry—almost 1.8 million New Yorkers who receive SNAP may receive only 50% of their benefit this month, and federal employees remain without pay. WSCAH is responding by distributing over 12,000 turkeys, pork shoulders, and other holiday staples, and increasing our food allotment by 50% for as long as this crisis continues—your urgent support makes this possible.

West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) is excited to host our fourth annual spring block party - a fun filled day of community impact. Join us on Sunday, June 1st from 12:00 - 4:00 pm.

Join WSCAH on Thursday, May 22 at 1:00 PM for a timely and informative virtual conversation exploring how federal decisions and budgetary constraints are impacting food access in New York—and what we can do to respond.
