Collection boxes are located in Tarrytown Village Hall at 1 Depot Plaza, the Library and the Recreation Offices at 238 West Main St. The collection will have the pickup in early December, 2019, for the December holidays. This will be done so the food can be delivered to the Food Pantry to sort and distribute by the Holidays to the families they serve.
