On St. Patrick s Day, residents of the city of Utica can participate in the latest food giveaway. This time, the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow, the Irish Cultural Center on Columbia Street in Utica.
The Utica Food Pantry will hand out 1,000 boxes of food, consisting of meat, dairy and produce items. The drive-thru giveaway will start at 10 am on Wednesday, St. Patrick s Day, and carry on until all boxes are distributed. No registration is necessary.
The pantry says they hand out food on St. Patrick’s Day in memory of the Irish lost during the Great Irish Famine from 1845 to 1852.
