Child Hunger & CHOW

All this week (until November 7th) we will be out at Weis Food Market on Upper Front Street in Binghamton sitting in a giant Hillcrest RV teaming up with Fidelis Care and Broome County CHOW accepting non-perishable food item donations to go towards CHOW!

This is an incredible event that lets you give back right to your community and make certain that your donation is staying in the area. Did you know that over 13 million children lived in food-insecure households last year and approximately 12 million are estimated to be served by Feeding America.

You don't truly understand poverty or food insecurity and you see it or experience it first hand... and that is something that shouldn't be wished upon anyone. Nearly one in four households with children report participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

This is why we need your help this week, we need food items to help children, and families in our community make it through when they are struggling so much. Here is just a short version list of what we are looking for:

• canned vegetables
• tomato juice/sauce
• oatmeal
• pasta
• canned tuna fish
• peanut butter
• chili
• nuts
• dry milk
• low-sugar cereal
• baby food
