ELC Food Pantry of Northport-East Northport
The Ecumenical Lay Council (ELC) Northport-East Northport Food Pantry began helping people in the 1950s. School hygienist Bernette Genor and local nurses saw that families in the area needed food. More people and groups joined to help these families, forming the council in the 1970s to collect food and raise money. Now, the ELC Food Pantry is run as a nonprofit in New York.
The nonprofit aims to give short-term help to local people and families in need. As a faith-based group, ELC builds unity through worship and friendship and encourages members to support each other. It depends on local communities, volunteers, and donors who value giving back by providing food, learning materials, and essential equipment.
The ELC executive committee runs the food pantry, handling its finances and keeping activities on track with its goals. Council members pick the committee members, which includes officers, pantry managers, and the First Presbyterian Church pastor. Volunteers make up the management team, tackling jobs like sorting donations, stocking shelves, registering clients, and making deliveries. Volunteers split tasks among themselves to keep things running smoothly, with different team members leading each day. Beyond day-to-day tasks, managers order supplies, track client numbers, create reports, and pass donor details to the committee.
Operating out of the lower level of the First Presbyterian Church in Northport, the Food Pantry functions as a mini-grocery store, open four mornings a week. Families and individuals in need stop by weekly to pick up items like canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and personal care products. To qualify, applicants must be at or below the poverty line. They also need an ID showing their name and local address in the service area and documents like utility bills or a lease agreement for verification purposes to sign up. No financial proof is necessary. The pantry follows the rules set by its parent group, Long Island Cares, Inc.
The nonprofit serves families in specific parts of the Town of Huntington: Northport, East Northport, Centerport, Greenlawn, and areas in the 11743 zip code tied to the Harborfields School District. For those outside these designated areas, the ELC Food Pantry has a separate resource page listing alternative food assistance providers within the broader Town of Huntington.
Fourteen New York-based member organizations support the ELC, with 12 being places of worship and two community-based nonprofits. These groups include Abiding Presence Lutheran Church, Christ Lutheran Church, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Huntington Congregational Church, alongside nonprofits like Youth Directions and Alternatives. United by faith, they collaborate to assist neighbors in need.
The ELC Food Pantry depends on various resources to support its services. One key resource, Long Island Cares, the region’s first food bank, fights hunger and food insecurity across New York counties. The Family Service League (FSL) supports ELC by helping with housing and other needs like mental health, addiction, senior care, and children’s programs. The FSL is also a great source of information and resources for those seeking food sources outside where ELC works.
Individuals, businesses, and civic groups can help the ELC Food Pantry by giving money, supplies, or time. Cash or credit card donations keep the pantry running, enabling food and other purchases through gifts that are tax-deductible. Long Island Cares, Inc., also provides limited financial support. Donors can drop off non-perishable food and other supplies at the pantry’s donation box during operating hours, and individuals can volunteer to help run food drives at work or in their neighborhood to collect food for the pantry.
