Pelham Cares was created in January of 1983 to assist in the delivery of social services to people in the Pelham area with particular emphasis on those services not provided by other organizations or agencies. Pelham Cares Inc. is not just a food bank. The services provided have evolved from providing food and friendly visits to include food, personal hygiene and household items, transportation to medical appointments, the sponsorship of youth to enable their participation in sports, recreational and educational activities, and information and referrals in response to emergency situations.
