food insecurity

$25-million in state funding is going to food banks across New York dealing with new food insecurity from the pandemic.

Since the end of March, the CHOW Warehouse has been providing a staggering 27,000 meals each day to our neighbors, but they need help to continue to do so.

Food Bank of the Southern Tier President and CEO Natasha Thompson is on Southern Tier Close Up as the Check Out Hunger campaign gets underway.

On the heels of a hugely successful Food-a-bago for the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse, local government offices are stepping up to help.

A conference this month will address a list of social issues facing the community.

The Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse will be able to parlay a $10,000 New York State Grant into 66,000 meals in Broome County.

Speaking on the October 1 edition of the weekly, local public affairs show, Southern Tier Close Up, CHOW director Mike Leahy details the challenges facing the group in addressing food insecurity during the final months of the year.

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.

Local hunger abatement work is getting a major boost from the Columbian Financial Group.
