VeganCNY Community Food Share: 1st Sundays

Cafe Sankofa 2323 S. Salina St., Syracuse, NY, United States

Vegan CNY Community Food Share provides healthy, vegan food to people who need it. Typically available  is an assortment of homemade and packaged food like hot soup, bread, along with fruit, coffee and clothing and other items.

The group provides food; in return, they get the opportunity to know their neighbors better, to hear music, engage in conversation and share stories.
