The Food Bank plays a vital role in our area, being a distributor of food to many food pantries and organizations in our area to help hungry families. They have been around for many years, and a number of local organizations and individuals give freely of their time to volunteer here to stock shelves, clean, organize, among other things. It is an amazing organization that more people need to know about. Please think about donating, go to their web site to see what is most needed, and absolutely call to sign up to volunteer! What the previous reviewer experienced should most certainly not happen, and I can attest that the staff there are very appreciative of anyone who can help them in any way! Spread the word and donate, volunteer and donate! More people in our area need food assistance than you might think.

People beware, they take vital signs and leave, and order old used equipment thru companies they…read moreuse in order to place liens on your property if not returned immediately. They never notified the company to pick up the equipment for10months. When they sent a nurses aid, she couldnt do the work, and when i told hospice this, the woman who sent the aid became very defensive, and retaliating. I was very upset with the lack of care and professionalism. In my fathers case, they ordered a bunch of old equipment that was not needed and then the company sends huge bills for thousands of dollars, and make threats to place liens on bank accounts and property....what a scam. Never in my whole life have i Experienced such a terrible organization that had ties with another company where they order used medical equipment without any concent or authorization on equipment that was old and not required, yet hospice ordered it and then we get hit with insane bills and threats of liens when there was clearly no reason to send this stuff in the first place by hospice. Then hospice left right afterwards and the equipment was never picked up for over 10 months and both organizations failed to or intentionally left this equipment in order to run up a huge bill without any notice of any issues regarding payments or understanding of what was going on up until now. The same used type of equipment can be found on ebay for anywhere between 10 to 100 bucks or less....what a scam.

My loved one's family selected Hospice Care of Westchester and Putnam as their home hospice provider with the guidance of Hudson Valley Hospital Center Words cannot express the level of care and concern exhibited by every individual connected with this organization. From the Nurses who visited daily, to the medical supply company that was used by the service, every single person treated not just the patient, but the entire family with such genuine human kindness that it astounded me. Every single employee I encountered was professional, efficient, and most of all, compassionate. If you ever have an occasion to utilize a home hospice provider, I can say with confidence that you will have the best possible experience with this service that a home hospice service can provide. On behalf of myself and my loved one's family, I'd like to thank everyone at Hospice Care of Westchester and Putnam for their care and compassion during a very difficult and trying time. You all made it easier to deal with a very challenging life event.

In addition to a place to shower, get haircuts, job training and a whole host of other services, they offer people a sense of dignity, a place to connect and to learn and grow. People come in from all walks of life and undoubtedly have their histories, many of which include trauma. Here they can start walking their path to connection, learn how to move past isolation and get the support they need to learn to love themselves. POTS may be the beginning for some, but it is a place that can help guide people to where they need to go with the right patience and understanding that change is a process but can absolutely happen. The staff is dedicated and caring. The executive director Christina Hanson is one of the most dedicated leaders toward helping those in need, and is excellent administratively which is rare in human services. What goes on at POTS is pretty amazing.

I always had a contact number in case something happened and I needed to speak to someone no matter the time or day. The shelter is always clean and the animals are well cared for.

Tiffany the manager is the person I've been dealing with for many years and I never had a complaint about her. She's sincere about her job. The manager before her wasn't alway pleasant but she did care for the animals. Beverly the lady that answers the phone has always been professional. I will continue to bring my TNR cats to the shelter. That project is a great help to keep the kitten population down. It's worth the money. I read some negative reviews and just want to say don't always let them influence you.
