UPDATED 7.7.22:

Last week we informed you that the shelves at the Fishkill Food Pantry were at an all time low, and that they were desperate for donations.  The high demand for products is needed in order to provide assistance to the more than 200 families across Dutchess County the the pantry serves on a monthly basis.

Food Drive Saturday July 9th:

In order to help stock the shelves at the Fishkill Food Pantry, so that no member of the community seeking food assistance goes hungry, a Food Drive will be held on Saturday July 9th.  The event will be happening from 10am until 2pm in front of the Town of Fishkill Police Station, located at 801 Rt. 52 in Fishkill.  Bonus, you can even donate quickly and simply through a drive-up system they have coordinated with support from the food pantry staff, as well as Councilman Brian Were and Secertary Greg Totino, who will also be assisting with the event.
