ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Friday was Hunger Action Day. It’s meant to raise awareness about food insecurity in the United States.
The Food Bank of Northeastern New York received a $450,000 grant over three years from the Empire Blue Cross Foundation. The funding will support its Food Farmacy Program, which is run in conjunction with St. Peter’s Health Partners and Saratoga Hospital.
