R-H Kicking Hunger School Food Pantry moves to new Rush-Henrietta location

Henrietta, New York – Families in the Rush-Henrietta School District who need a little extra help with groceries, personal care products or school supplies can turn to the Rush-Henrietta Kicking Hunger School Food Pantry.

The pantry has moved to a new location inside the Carlton Webster building at 2000 Lehigh Station Road. The service is designed to provide practical assistance to residents who may be facing challenges meeting everyday needs.

The pantry offers dry food, personal care items and school supplies. Residents can pick up needed items twice a month, giving families an ongoing resource rather than a one-time source of assistance.

Pick-up hours are scheduled for 10 to 11 a.m. every Tuesday and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. Visitors are asked to follow the signs when they arrive and park in the loop near the building.

For anyone visiting the pantry for the first time, there is a brief form that must be completed before receiving assistance. The process is intended to help connect residents with the available resources without creating a lengthy process.

People who need assistance or have questions about visiting the pantry can call 585-359-7979. Someone will be available to provide guidance and help visitors understand what they need to do.

The pantry’s work depends heavily on support from the local community. Community partners and individual donors help keep food, personal care products and school supplies available for families who need them.

That community support is also an opportunity for residents and organizations that want to help. Donations are welcomed, and those interested in contributing can contact the pantry at [email protected] or by calling 585-359-7979.

For families dealing with rising household expenses or unexpected financial pressure, access to basic necessities can make a meaningful difference. The Rush-Henrietta Kicking Hunger School Food Pantry provides a local place where district residents can receive assistance with some of those everyday needs.

With its new location and twice-weekly pick-up schedule, the pantry remains available to Rush-Henrietta residents who need support. Families can visit up to twice each month and use the service for food, personal care items and school supplies.
