The Brockport Ecumenical Food Shelf began in 1973 as an outreach ministry. Its mission is to reduce hunger by providing food assistance to eligible residents of zip codes 14420 and 14430. In July and August 2012, the facility, located in St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brockport, assisted more than 160 households.
