What an AMAZING after Christmas gift from Pioneer Bank. We were blessed with a $5,000 check this past weekend from our neighbors at Pioneer Bank to help us to continue to serve our neighbors in need. We can't thank them enough.

What an incredible community we're blessed to be part of! Trying to provide food assistance through the Mount Ida Food Pantry to 188 families in just two weeks was a monumental task, but with the overwhelming support we received from our community, we miraculously accomplished it! We can't express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who generously sent us monetary donations through Venmo and by mail. We're forever thankful for the outpouring of support and generosity from everyone!
But, as we look forward to SNAP benefits being restored our work is not done. We will continue to help our neighbors in need each week. Offering them fresh produce, bread, meats, cheese, milk, eggs, shelf stable groceries and personal hygiene items. And with your continued support we will be able to do it.
I feel blessed to be a part in Neighbors Helping Neighbors. ❤️

For those reaching out to help, donations of food and personal hygiene items can be dropped off at the pantry(548 Congress st, Troy) any Friday or Saturday morning and monetary donations can be sent via Venmo- or check -sent to Mount Ida Food Pantry, C/O Denise Dunham, 10 Prospect ave, Troy, NY 12180. We continue to thank our community and friends for their generous support so we can continue to help our neighbors in need.

"I have never seen so many pantries running out of food just this week," said Natasha Pernicka, the executive director of the Food Pantries of the Capital District. "It's a profound emergency."

As the government shut down continues, some community members in the Capital Region have been scrambling to get food after the USDA announced federal food aid, including SNAP benefits will run out on Nov. 1.
