Nook – Food Security Cupboard
THE Nook - Food CUPBOARD
The Nook is a small food and supply cupboard at our main offices. Our young people have easy access to non-perishable foods, hygiene items, and household supplies. In conjunction with The Nook, staff and volunteers deliver education and life skills focused on nutrition, cooking and grocery shopping budgets.
To ensure The Nook is full year round, we ask friends and community businesses, churches and organizations to “Adopt a Shelf.” Each partner who wants to help is assigned a product or products to collect and donate regularly. Call (585) 473-2464 or email Luis at lzarate@centerforyouth.net to adopt a shelf.

Adopt A Shelf Today!
Who Can Help? – A family, a classroom, a team, a local business, a group of friends or any combination you can think of!
How Does it Work? – Your group chooses one of our pantry shelves to adopt. Your group collects items each month and arranges a drop off to The Center for Youth at 905 Monroe Ave. on a certain day each month.
For How Long? – Adopting a shelf is a commitment once a month for a year, providing about 20 non-perishable food items. You may end your adoption status or change the item you want to supply at any time.
