Help HACA Food Pantry Feed Our Neighbors in Need

November 15, 2024 By Eastwick Press

During a holiday season marked by sharing meals with family and friends, the HACA Food Pantry aims to ensure that no family goes to bed hungry. To help feed our families this holiday season, watch for our “Sharing – Giving – Serving” campaign.

With the holidays approaching, the food pantry is experiencing a record number of visitors as inflation is causing the prices of food to spike. Join us in our mission to fight food insecurity so everyone can have a delicious holiday meal.

Through the generosity of individual donors, faith communities and local businesses, HACA is able to provide turkeys or grocery card and accompanying food for families in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Supplies have been received and transported to the Reynolds/Gilchrest Skating Rink by the National Honor Society, ready to be packed into boxes for distribution. Distribution for Thanksgiving is on November 23rd from 10 to noon. Christmas distribution is December 14th.

Join us in our mission to fight food insecurity so everyone can have a delicious holiday meal. You can make a difference. Donations can be sent to HACA, PO Box #1, Hoosick Falls, NY 12090 notated “Holiday Fund Drive.” For more information, call HACA at 518-686-5163 or email hacainc12090@gmail.com.

HFCS NHS Students Volunteer at HACA Food Pantry. Twenty-nine of the HFCS National Honor Society (NHS) students went to the Hoosick Area Church Association (HACA) Food Pantry in Hoosick Falls. They worked tirelessly to load nonperishables onto a truck so that they could be transported to the town’s skating rink. The students then unloaded all of the food so that around 200 distribution boxes could be created for Thanksgiving.
