The Herkimer County Hunger Coalition has been working to make sure local families have food on their tables, clothing for children and presents under their Christmas tree.
The Hunger Coalition is donating $2,000 to Operation Sunshine (Herkimer County) in honor of Kathy Orts at Herkimer Elementary School. For years, Orts has coordinated a program with Operation Sunshine, guaranteeing deserving students a meaningful Christmas.
“We’re grateful to our many and generous donors for providing the capital enabling us to support this most worthy cause,” said coalition founder Ray Lenarcic. He said the coalition has also made $1,000 donations to the Food Bank of Central New York accounts of food pantries in Richfield Springs, West Winfield and Old Forge. Similar donations were made earlier to the accounts of food pantries in Little Falls, Kuyahoora Valley, Frankfort-Ilion, Herkimer, Dolgevil
