“President Obama has called upon Americans to rededicate themselves to bettering their communities through volunteerism, and Westchester County government is responding,” said County Executive Andy Spano. “I encourage students, retirees, the underemployed or unemployed – anyone looking to make a difference – to step up to the plate.”  Nearly 1000 Westchester residents were there to hear the call.

The Food Bank for Westchester held its Hunger Heroes Breakfast at Tappan Hill, Tarrytown, NY on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Westchester Community Foundation Executive Director Catherine Marsh was featured as the keynote speaker.  The morning included a presentation to volunteer Karen O'Brien, and the Emergency Food Pantry and Peak 107.1 were recognized for their support.
