The Untied Way Is Helping The Hungry In Our Area

The United Way of the Southern Tier announced today it is accepting monetary donations to support food pantries in Chemung and Steuben counties as they work to help individuals and families in need of food and other necessities.
“Many of our neighbors are struggling to feed their families right now, and food pantries are seeing a significant increase in requests for assistance,” said Maleaha Smith, president and CEO of United Way of the Southern Tier. “If you’re able to help, we encourage you to consider donating your time or making a monetary donation through the Emergency Response Fund or directly to your local pantry.”
Smith explained, “Pantries have expressed a greater need for financial donations, rather than food items. Pantries can purchase food at greatly discounted prices, rather than paying retail. That means your dollar goes further and feeds more of our neighbors in need.”
United Way of the Southern Tier will donate 100% of all gifts received to pantries in Chemung and Steuben counties.
To donate, visit this link or mail a check to United Way of the Southern Tier, 88 E. Tioga Ave., Ste. 102, Corning, NY 14830. Please put the words “Food Help” in the memo line of the check.
Those who prefer to donate food items should check with their local pantry. Volunteers are also needed to help with increasing demand at local pantries. Those who would like to volunteer should contact their pantry or visit United Way’s online volunteer page at UWST.org.
If you have any questions, please contact United Way of the Southern Tier, 607-936-3753, or email info@uwst.org.
