The Lord's Pantry

The Lord's Pantry is a non-profit organization serving hot nutritious meals to HIV/People With AIDS, their caregivers and children in Westchester County, New York. The Lord's Pantry was founded by Joan McGovern, Frances Gray and Ann Weiss, mothers who had each lost a child to this dreaded disease. They recognized how many HIV/PWA's there were in Westchester County with no support system, and founded The Lord's Pantry to fill this need in the Westchester Community. The Lord's Pantry delivers hot meals to AIDS patients who are too weak from their illness to cook their own meals. Not only do the many volunteers deliver meals, but also more importantly, deliver love and support.

After Joan's son Tommy died, Joan and Fran began cooking meals in their kitchens, buying the supplies and relying on donations from local restaurants and companies. Today, the Pantry meals are cooked by a hired chef in the kitchen facilities donated by St. Bernard's Church in White Plains, New York, serving over 2500 meals weekly in the Westchester area. The Pantry has expanded to include meals for caregivers and children of their clients. Volunteers from all over the county donate their time to deliver.

The Lord's Pantry has been featured in both The New York Times and The Reporter Dispatch. For more information, please contact The Lord's Pantry at the email provided below. Volunteers are always welcome, needed and sincerely appreciated.

If you, or someone you know, could benefit from having their meals delivered daily, along with TLC, please contact The Lord's Pantry. There is NO CHARGE for this service. The Pantry is funded by Ryan White, small grants and donations.
