Concerned for the Hungry
About
Concerned for the Hungry is an all-volunteer organization founded in 1979 that provides Thanksgiving food baskets to families in Schenectady County, based at 1974 Village Road in Niskayuna. Families register in person each October at St. John the Evangelist School on Union Street, and volunteers pack and distribute the baskets the week of the holiday.
After 46 years the group is in a leadership transition, with longtime leader Peter Jones stepping aside in 2025 and volunteers being recruited to shadow committee roles so the program continues.
