Schenectady Shares

Schenectady Shares was created to re-stock Schenectady County's food pantries after the busy holiday season and year-round.

Today marked our last sorting Saturday and the end of our 2026 food drive! Thank you to the many businesses, organizations and volunteers who stepped up to help donate items, sort food, deliver to pantries, and so much more. We collected a total of about 25,000 pounds of food throughout this year’s drive that was provided to food providers across Schenectady County. You can still donate and help support our efforts throughout the year though! Visit our website www.schenectadyshares.org for more info. Thank you 🙏

Shining another spotlight on the generous efforts and support of the Schenectady Police Department and Benson's Pet Center that recently donated pet food to Schenectady Shares to deliver to food pantries in Schenectady County for individuals and families to help feed their pets as well. Pets are family too and this is neighbors helping neighbors! 🐶🐱
