Gov. Andrew Cuomo has deemed food pantry staff and volunteers ineligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine (as front-facing grocery store workers are) because these dedicated women and men and the work they do is not considered “essential.” St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry has provided essential services to residents of Pine Hills and Eagle Hill neighborhoods in the city of Albany for 38 years.
