While the SFDC’s primary role is related to commercial and economic development within Seneca Falls, our efforts are always central to improving the quality of life within our community.
These are stressful times for hundreds of local families and we want to do our best to try and help people navigate the various food resources available. There is a lot of information out there, which is a testament to the efforts and care being extended throughout our community, but it can also be confusing.
We will continue to update resources as they’re shared and invite you to contact these various organizations for more information or guidance. No one should be forced to go hungry and we hope the following will help you find the assistance you need.
