Student Advisory Council

The Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry’s (MKIFP) Student Advisory Council (SAC) spreads awareness of the prevalence of food insecurity throughout Northern Westchester, especially in the Mount Kisco/Bedford Hills community, as well as engages high school students who are passionate about the issue.

Members of the SAC are composed of the leadership from partnering high school clubs and are led by an elected President and Vice President. The Council is advised by an alumnus of the SAC and the Fund Development and Communications Manager of the Pantry. The Council meets two to three times per year to coordinate a calendar of activities and share best practices.

The Clubs at the partnering high schools (currently Byram Hills, Fox Lane, Horace Greeley, and Horace Mann) are responsible for:

• Spreading SAC/MKIFP information to their Club/high school members and the entire school community

• Recruiting volunteers age 15+ to work at MKIFP distributions

• Hosting food drives at their school

• Working with the SAC/MKIFP on new initiatives, as identified

  For further information for your club or school, please contact the SAC Advisor, Graeme Banks at sac@mountkiscofoodpantry.org.
