NEWS & EVENTS

West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) is excited to host our annual spring block party - a fun filled day of community impact. Join us on Sunday, June 7th from 12:00 - 4:00 pm.

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 donate their time and resources to ensuring every WSCAH customer can access the healthy food they need and deserve.

Spend your MLK Day in service with Walk, Pack, Give, a hands-on, family-friendly fundraising event at WSCAH’s state-of-the-art 13,000 sq. ft. warehouse located in Washington Heights. Designed for schools, youth groups, and families, this peer-to-peer event turns every lap and every packed bag into real impact for hungry New Yorkers. Ages 6 and up.

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.
