THE ROUNDTABLE
Working together to serve the communities we know best: our own.
WSCAH is the host, founding member, and leader of The Roundtable: Allies for Food Access, a dedicated network of emergency food providers collaborating to bring more resources to communities so none of our neighbors go hungry.
Comprised of eight of the largest food pantries and soup kitchens in NYC, The Roundtable’s core work consists of strategic purchasing, advocacy, and mutual support. Together, we reduce costs across the system through strategic and bulk purchasing, advocate for better allocations of resources to frontline providers, and provide direct technical assistance and support to our smaller pantry partners.
The Roundtable continues to demonstrate that embracing collaboration, rather than competition, benefits both member organizations and the communities we serve.
