November 14, 2018Regional Food Bank’s Highest Grossing Yearly Appeal Begins at Crossgates
The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York launched its 34th Annual Holiday Hunger Appeal on Wednesday, November 14 at Crossgates. From November 14 – December 24, shoppers can make monetary donations to the Regional Food Bank as they pass by the Food Bank’s booth located on the lower level of Crossgates outside of Lord & Taylor and the Apple Store. Volunteers will be collecting daily from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Each dollar donated goes a long way toward feeding the hungry, as the Food Bank provides four meals worth of food for every dollar it spends. Last year’s Holiday Hunger Appeal raised over $500,000 for the Regional Food Bank. Major sponsors of this year’s Appeal include Crossgates, Berkshire Bank, Fenimore Asset Management, Hannaford Supermarkets, MAGIC 100.5FM, Trustco Bank, and Total Events.
The Annual Kick – Off event will take place on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 11:45 a.m. on the lower level near Lord & Taylor.
