SFEE is working to feed people during this crisis. We committed to donate $15,000 to food pantries on the East End . You can donate to all the pantries too ! One of our projects is to help CAST (Community Action Southold Town), in Greenport, which serves the community on the North Fork. First stop with CAST was a donation of 200 fresh chickens to clients. The second chicken donation went to one of the Sunday dinners at Holy Trinity Church in Greenport.
“Those dinners feed on average 300 community members,” says Cathy Demeroto, executive director of CAST, who adds the number of their clients has risen by 25 percent since the start of the pandemic. “Our food costs have increased from $1,200 to $7,000,” she says. “The community has been extremely generous, but I am concerned if this continues we will not be able to maintain this into the fall.”
CAST has pantries at their offices in Greenport, the Holy Trinity Church, North Fork Episcopal Ministries; their mobile unit delivers to the homebound. You can help us match our $15,000 donation to benefit all food pantries on the East End.

We are asking our members and supporters to match our effort of $15,000 for the food pantries.
