Food Distributions Continue Through Summer

Food is needed for so many people during this pandemic, this article contains information on upcoming free food distribution events in our area.

The Covid-19 pandemic has not only taken away jobs and has left many families without enough income to buy food, there are many local organizations that will be handing out food supplies over the next month.

The Food Band of the Southern Tier will be holding drive-though Food Distributions in our community, if you are interested you need to register to attend the events.

Registration is open two days before each event and there are two ways to register
