When and where did you apply previously? Any interviews or waitlist?
Previously
I know you probably shouldn't apply to all of your NY schools, but I'm pretty sure you could apply to more.
You have
8. Albany Med
16. Jacobs Buffalo
18. SUNY Upstate
25. Stony Brook
Why not add these other in-state options? Is it just about metrics?
SUNY Downstate
NYMC
Hofstra
Grossman Long Island?

Break down your religious non clinical volunteering so that the 125 hours of free food service is separate. Those 125 hours plus the 75 hours in the mobile food unit will put you over the 150 hours that many schools screen at. I suggest these schools with your stats:
All 4 SUNYs
Albany
New York Medical College
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Hackensack
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
Methodist
NOVA MD
Belmont
Alice Walton
Creighton
Ponce (St. Louis)
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Wayne State
Oakland Beaumont
Roseman
Loma Linda
You have a good DO list.

Usual rule of thumb is that we want hours that happened after you graduated high school. I would split your service to your religious community from service to the general community in need.Should I make it two activities or would it suffice to list it in the activity description?
I also have 300~ hr from high school that are continuous with my college religious volunteering. Should I include that or is it not helpful?
