Burke Food & Coat Drive

Burke Rehabilitation Center has partnered with the Food Bank for Westchester and NY Cares to run a food and coat drive. Burke will be collecting non-perishable foods and coats until the end of the year for these two organizations that have the network to get the donations to those who need it most. 


The Food Bank is in need of the following items:



  • Cans of tuna

  • Granola bars

  • Peanut butter in plastic containers

  • Shelf-stable milk

  • Cereal

  • Cheese and/or peanut butter sandwich crackers

  • Juice boxes

  • Crackers

  • Applesauce in plastic cups

  • Canned or dried fruit

  • Toilet paper

  • Hand sanitizer wipes

  • Tissues


Burke employees and members of the community can drop off their food and coat donations through the end of December at the lobby of the Wood Pavilion on the Burke Rehabilitation Center campus at 785 Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains.
