Rush Henrietta Area Food Terminal

Welcome to the RHAFT website.
We are the Henrietta Community's Emergency Food Cupboard.
(Contact number for volunteers and donations: 334-3141.)
 

The Rush-Henrietta Area Food Terminal is an emergency food cupboard staffed by fifty volunteers who provide food on an emergency basis to needy residents in the Rush-Henrietta Central School District. We have always appreciated the generous assistance of time and donations to help us feed the needy. We now call upon the community for financial support to help us relocate to our new facility.

The purpose of this site is to make it easy for individuals and companies to learn about RHAFT and help support our Building Fund Drive.
