Schenectady County Food & Nutrition

The program delivers nutritionally-balanced meals 5 or 7 days per week with optional evening meals. Short-term fee-for-service meals are also available.

This program offers free, confidential, one-to-one services that help food insecure residents within Schenectady County get nutrition assistance with SNAP.  Our NOEP Coordinator helps program applicants complete and submit their SNAP (food stamp) application, works with local government offices to ensure that each application is processed correctly, and refers those in need to other community resources as appropriate.

The program serves Medicaid-eligible patients, referred by a healthcare provider, who have low food access and a nutritional risk factor. The program provides monthly healthy food and individualized nutrition education support so participants can experience the confidence and ability to address their chronic health conditions using 'food as medicine.'
