The facility will provide increased capacity to obtain, store and distribute food donations to six counties in the Hudson Valley. It will allow the Food Bank to honor its commitment to improving local access to food by delivering 20 million pounds of food to benefit 179,000 families and children receiving support from the Food Bank. "We are thrilled to see this project take shape and are excited to better serve the needs of our food-insecure neighbors in the Hudson Valley," said Molly Nicol, CEO of the Regional Food Bank, which is headquartered in Latham. "We are incredibly grateful to everyone who is working to make this vision a reality." The project is expected to be completed in 2024.
