We also always need peanut butter, canned or easy-open meats (chicken, tuna fish, ham, etc.) Also, canned chili and protein soups that are easy to transport and simple to prepare. These items are ideal for families who do not have access to a stove for cooking, as they can be heated in a microwave.

Central New York Food Bank Parnter Agency Conference 2023
Connie DeShais, Sheila Dion & Jackie Flint
Listen to how Sheila Dion took a part-time job as a "lunch lady" in her children's school and quickly noticed many students asking for extra food to take home with them. What started as a pilot program to help 17 students in the Phoenix School District now provides 40,000 meals each school year, helping hundreds of students and their families overcome food insecurity. Hear the remarkable story of Erin's Angels in this edition of Built to Serve, hosted by Salvation Army Major Charles Roberts.

Host a lunch and learn at your business
Help strengthen our community by learning about food insecurity
Join Sheila Dion, Community Educator at Erin's Angels, for a Lunch & Learn about food insecurity. The session will discuss the magnitude of food insecurity in CNY, food-assistance resources available throughout the area, and ways to advocate for food justice. Attendees will leave the presentation with an increased understanding of the problem of food insecurity, knowledge of SNAP and other food-assistance programs, and action steps they can take to support a future in which all people have the food they need to lead healthy lives.
Please don’t forget to bring your lunch!
