The problem of food insecurity across America and even here Central New York has touched more families this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Berkshire Bank Foundation is helping fight food insecurity by donating a total of $130,000 to food banks. Although Berkshire Bank holds offices primarily in New England and New York, communities throughout the Northeastern United States will feel the effects of the foundation s generous donation. Food banks in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York were included in BBF s list of donation recipients. Here in Central New York, the Food Bank of Central New York in Syracuse and the Utica Food Bank will each receive a $10,000 grant from the Berkshire Bank Foundation.
