Welcome
TEMPORARY POLICY
When you arrive at ICC at your scheduled food pickup
time, please drive past our building, turn around and pull up along the
edge of ICC. We will bring your items to your car, instead of you coming inside
the building.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Irondequoit Community Cupboard has always been
about “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” The corona virus is here and We
really dont know much about it except that the elderly population and
those with compromised immune systems are most susceptible.
If you are an at risk Irondequoit resident who is elderly or has a
compromised immune system such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
COPD, and those receiving cancer treatment, I will bring you emergency
food. I do not want you to put yourself at a higher risk than necessary.
Please contact me directly at iccdebbieevans@gmail.com if you would like
me to do this for you.

type in Irondequoit Community Cupboard You would then continue to shop
whatever it was you were shopping for and we get a (small) dollar
percentage of your order. So we win for you doing what you were going to
do anyway. This would be a great and easy way for you to “Help us Help

"Letter from the President"
(March 2020)
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
ICC has been working tirelessly to be able to meet the needs of our
community during this pandemic.
The ICC Board of Directors and myself remain in continuous contact
with one another to make sure we are all on the same page regarding
the organizing and coordinating the work and activities of the week.
We have been collaborating with the school districts, the town
Supervisor and Foodlink to be able to continue with the food support
you have grown used to from us. With this collaboration we were able
to do a large box distribution at Bishop Kearney last week. All of
us working together allowed this to happen.
Our volunteers have been amazing; working with incoming donations,
packing bags, picking up large donations, and helping with the
distribution of food and toiletries to the residents of our
community. If you are a current volunteer that is scheduled
to work at ICC in the next few weeks and for whatever reason, you do
not wish to come in, please let me know as soon as possible so that
we have enough people to cover a shift.
We have been using precautions since the beginning of this crisis.
We are wiping down all hard surfaces, spraying with Lysol, wearing
gloves and most importantly distributing on a grab and go method.
This means we will be checking you in outdoors, the emergency food
will be packed and ready to go, enough for 7 days, and we will put
it in your trunk to limit any exposure to either of us.
Here is what you can do right now-
Make sure you are following proper protocols of hand washing.
If you are sick, stay home.
If you or a member of your household has been in contact with
someone who may have been a carrier of the corona virus-stay home.
If you dont have to go out, dont.
To “Help us Help others” PLEASE check on your neighbors. If YOU know
of someone who cannot or should not get out let us know and we will
work with you to make sure they get what they need.
Our donors, who have been providing cash, food and hygiene items
have really helped us to be able to be so generous to those coming
to us for assistance.
Thank you, Tasteful Connections, Union Tavern, Thai Mii Up, Shamrock
Jacks and Two Ton Tonys for thinking of us during this critical
time.
Irondequoit is the definition of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors”
I continue to be asked about how they can help with donations. Cash
donations can be made on our Paypal link located on our
website-www.irondequoitcommunitycupboard.org
You can also write checks, payable to ICC c/o Debbie Evans PO Box

purpose cleaner, shampoo and conditioner, paper towels, womens
deodorant and feminie products to ICC on Tuesdays and Saturdays from
