ELLICOTTVILLE - Over the past number of years, the Bob McCarthy Foundation has provided support for many local organizations. Working with the Ellicottville Food Bank for over 20 years, the Foundation has provided both equipment and quarterly financial support to help this great local organization. As the need has grown, the community has seen the Food Bank grow with improvements to storage and staging at the United Church of Ellicottville, located at 51 Elizabeth St.
The Foundation provides a quarterly grant to the Food Bank on an ongoing basis, providing needed flexibility to their inventory to better service the community. This quarterly grant, along with extra support for Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, allows the Food Bank to endure the changing needs and food costs.
Nancy Rogan said that the Food Bank “greatly appreciates the generosity of the Bob McCarthy Foundation with whom we have a strong relationship and which we hope will continue for many years.”
Donations of food or sanitary supplies is welcomed and can be dropped off at the Food Pantry during service hours listed here: The Ellicottville Food Bank services the Ellicottville community with a totally volunteer staff and is open Monday 1:00-3:00pm, Wednesday 4:00-6:00pm and Saturday 10:00am-12:00pm every week.
With the opening of the Medical Loan Center in Ellicottville and needed Medical Transportation solutions, the Foundation and Interfaith Caregivers continues to expand help for those in need in the community.
