Today starts our 9^th Annual Food Drive.  This year donations will be going to The Food Bank of the Southern Tier who distributes food and other grocery products to people in need through a network of more than 160 partner agencies including food pantries, meal programs, shelters and other hunger relief organizations in Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga and Tompkins Counties. The Food Bank also administers several direct service food distribution programs including the Backpack Program and Mobile Food Pantry Program.  This is an opportunity to help others in our community during the Holiday Season.
