Life, Family and Legacy Dedicated to the Fight Against Hunger

WINTER 2024

Talk to Scott Sherman for a short time and you won’t be blamed if you conclude that he is as passionate about his drive to help others through volunteer efforts as he is regarding his career as a successful financial services executive. As an active Feeding Westchester board member and volunteer, Scott has helped introduce new people and raise funds through our events and other efforts, as well as rolled up his sleeves alongside his family to volunteer and pack food.

Scott realized in his youth, that even if your personal situation is comfortable, a ten-minute drive can put you in “another world” of concern and need. This helped shape the foundation for a lifetime of Community Service: joining the fight against hunger for high school service hours at the Food Bank of New Jersey; running the Duke Circle K Community Service Club like a full-time new business start-up, increasing membership from 25 to 125, and their number of monthly events from 3 to 27; and gaining an unofficial third graduate degree in Volunteerism while studying at Columbia, as a co-founder of the City Harvest Junior Leadership Committee and their Summer in the City event—a $225k revenue generator—to fill his “extracurricular” time.

Fortunately for our community, Scott and his wife Michelle moved to Westchester sixteen years ago, relocating the center of operations for this nonstop force of philanthropy to Purchase. Now parents of three, Scott and Michelle have made community service an important element of their family culture.

“As a family, we support Feeding Westchester and the important work of nourishing neighbors who are hungry throughout Westchester County. We like making an impact in our community and chose to leave a lasting legacy in helping those who are hungry by naming Feeding Westchester in our estate plans.”

If you share Scott’s passion to engage in the fight against hunger in Westchester County, consider your own legacy gift. With an effortless step to make a bequest intention through an estate plan, or other gift method, you can ensure the continuation of your support to Feeding Westchester’s mission well into the future.
