General Information

The SOCSD Food Pantry, which launched at the Tappan Zee Educational Center in November 2020 in response to pandemic-driven need, relocated to Tappan Zee High School in November 2022 to serve as a job site for TZHS COVE students.

TZHS COVE students stock shelves, manage inventory and pack bags for monthly distribution. Bags of supplemental food assistance are delivered by volunteers to families in need on the third Thursday of each month. Families in need of assistance should email socsdcares@socsd.org.
