Assemblyman Al Stirpe (D-Cicero) finished another successful\nannual food drive Thursday, Jan. 2, in partnership with the Food Bank of\nCentral New York. Residents across the 127th Assembly District donated items\nsuch as canned foods, rice, pasta and grains, dinner mixes, stews, peanut\nbutter and more at a host of drop-off locations in the community. In total, 520\npounds of food were donated to be distributed to families in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one deserves to go hungry,\u201d said Stirpe. \u201cI\u2019m so\nthankful to everyone who donated for supporting the Food Bank of Central New\nYork and the less fortunate families in our communities. Together, we helped\nmake their holiday season brighter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food Bank of Central New York serves 11 counties\nthroughout central and northern New York, providing 14 million pounds of food\nto thousands of needy families every year.[1]<\/sup><\/a> Food\ninsecurity has become a growing issue, with more than half of shelters, soup\nkitchens and pantries in the United States reporting an increase in residents\nutilizing their services.[2]<\/sup><\/a> Supporting\norganizations like the Food Bank of Central New York goes a long way in the\nfight against hunger, Stirpe said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
