Food Bank of the Southern Tier

A pilot School Food Pantry program is underway at the Broome Tioga BOCES East Learning Center in Binghamton.

There are some new structures at the Oakdale Mall but they have nothing to do with merchandising.

People have a chance to get a warm bowl of soup and keep the handcrafted bowl while their neighbors who don’t know where they will get their next meal get a boost.

Broome County community leaders, elected officials and school officials are working December 6 to fill backpacks with food for children in the area.

Hundreds of people, including many students, are expected to harvest thousands of pounds of potatoes in West Corners to help area food pantries.

Food Bank of the Southern Tier is named National Food Bank of the Year.

Speaking on the February 18 edition of the weekly, local public affairs program, Southern Tier Close Up, Food Bank of the Southern Tier director Natasha Thompson says hunger knows no season.

The Food Bank of the Southern Tier and the Broome County Promise Zone are hosting what they are calling a Community Café on hunger, food insecurity and health as part of Hunger Action Month.

Dozens of volunteers worked in West Corners to harvest thousands of pounds of potatoes to be donated to area food assistance programs.

The Food Bank of the Southern Tier is marking Hunger Action Day September 8 with 12 hours of volunteering.
