• The mission of the Community Food Pantry is to provide relief to those in need in the Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown communities. The Pantry began as an initiative of Kids’ Club of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow in December of 2009 as a way to address the issue of hunger within our community. That one time distribution of food has become a monthly event, currently serving about 450 families.

Since 1984 Passaic County Habitat for Humanity has served the Paterson and Passaic County area.

Families for Families is a 501c3 nonprofit linking families from more affluent areas with families trying to make ends meet, not just providing material goods, but bonding families from different backgrounds. Their mission is to harness the immense generosity and compassion we see in our hometown and surrounding area and use it to improve the lives of those in need. They particularly focus on helping families/individuals served in homeless shelters, individuals in subsidized care and families receiving public assistance.

The philosophy of the Mahwah Senior Activity Center is based on the premise of keeping our seniors in Mahwah healthy, active, and aging wisely. We believe that each individual has the right to achieve their maximum potential and be given the opportunity for community involvement through wellness, social, creative, cultural and other various recreational programs offered at the center. It is our goal to provide outlets for all members to achieve self-development that will afford them personal enjoyment and satisfaction. This is what we strive for.

Tenafly Nature Center oversees the stewardship of nearly 400 wooded acres for the purposes of conservation, education, recreation, and community engagement. Through this land stewardship they wish to create a community that feels a strong connection to the natural world and actively partners with us to promote the highest level of biodiversity possible for our natural areas.
