Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell stopped by Community Action with good news about a legislative initiative to help fight hunger. Thanks to Addie’s advocacy, the Food Bank of Central New York is receiving a $15,000 grant, administered by the Office of Children and Family Services. The funds will be used to support North Country food pantries.

Thanks to Addie and the fine folks at Food Bank of CNY for their tireless efforts in helping local pantries meet the growing demand for emergency food!
