Our Purpose
Good health thrives on access to nutritious, adequate food. However, more than 136,000 people in our region go without reliable access to enough food, which creates a roadblock to them living their best, healthiest lives. Because we care about our community and patients, we're determined to help.
About the UR Medicine Food Pantry
In partnership with Foodlink, UR Medicine has established an emergency food program, with pantries at key locations across Monroe County to aid patients with urgent food needs. Through this service, we provide patients with enough food to feed their household for three days immediately on-site at their doctor’s appointment or hospital visit.
Since its launch in 2021, the UR Medicine Food Pantry has served over 8,000 patients and continues to see exponential growth each year. This year is set to be our biggest year yet with a projected 33% increase in patients served from 2024.
Please help us continue to support our patients and community by donating any amount. Your donation will help keep food on the shelves and our patients supported.
Your support, at any level, makes a difference.
