Show Notes
Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York and Food Bank of the Hudson Valley provides 50 million pounds of food each year to 1,000 agencies in 23 counties of northeastern New York.
To meet growing demand, it is moving to a new 40,000-square-foot distribution center that will be twice the size of the food bank's current warehouse in Cornwall-on-Hudson. This move will enable the food bank to increase the capacity of food it distributes to 400 food pantries and soup kitchens in Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess, Rockland, and Putnam counties.
Felicia Kalan, the Executive VP of the Regional Food Bank, and Senior Public Affairs Officer Barry Lewis spoke to Radio Catskill's Patricio Robayo about this significant move.
