Thanks so much Creatacor, Inc.! We appreciate your support!
In support of The Food Pantries for the Capital District, we will be collecting food and cash donations in our lobby from December 16th – January 2nd. From the Food Pantries website: “96,760 people are considered food insecure in our service area. People who are food insecure lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.” Access to food is a growing concern as hunger is now a chronic problem. Locally, more than 1 in 10 people (11.99%) struggle with having adequate food resources. If you are visiting our office, please consider bringing in food donations – helping the Food Pantries meet the needs of those who need it most. Or, cash donations also go a long way to help. According to the Food Pantries, they can turn every dollar into 6.25 pounds of food! Thank you!

We hope you will consider donating to The Food Pantries for the Capital District tomorrow on Giving Tuesday so that we can continue supporting the 71 local pantries in our coalition. Last year those pantries provided 4.1 million lbs of food to more than 68,000 people. We know the numbers are going to be higher this year. Your $$$ will go even further thanks to a $5,000 match from CDPHP and $2,500 match from The Life Insurance Council of New York.
