Our Programs
Food Service
Our Food Service Department continues to provide its vital, nutritious meal service program to the hungry, homeless, addicted and disabled individuals in Utica and the Mohawk Valley. Daily we provide three meals to our 130 residents in addition to serving a walk-in population from the community a hot “To-Go” breakfast, a “To-Go” bag lunch, and hot “To-Go” dinner meal. This is made possible by the generosity of a giving and caring community who provides much of our raw foods through in-kind donations.
