Local Center Needs Support To Continue Mission To Feed Community
The Johnson Park Center in Utica has been operating drive-thru and walk-thru food pantries for months during the course of the Pandemic. Rain or Shine is how they announce every one of their food drives and they remain dedicated to feeding whoever is hungry, no matter what.
Reverend Dr. Maria Scates says, Many face having to choose between paying rent, the National Grid bill, or putting food on the table. We, as a community, are working together to fight hunger and food insecurity. Scates credits several local businesses with donating funds and sponsoring these drives to fulfill the needs of the center and their commitment to the community.
