Our Impact
The Interreligious Food Consortium serves smaller and under-resourced food pantries, senior housing facilities, social workers, and other providers in the local emergency food network.
During the pandemic, the IFC accepted referrals from the Onondaga County Health Department and expanded its services to provide door-to-door, seven days a week, food deliveries to families in need who were in isolation and quarantine due to COVID-19.
