Helping to Provide Food to Families in Schenectady County

Concerned for the Hungry, Inc. is an entirely volunteer organization working to fight hunger in Schenectady County. CFH was started by a small group of individuals in 1979. It began with the realization that the need for emergency food was growing. After 38 years, CFH remains a leading force in providing essential food services and support throughout Schenectady County.
