Feed the Need: Help Us Provide 15,000 Meals in Allegany County

Hunger isn’t always visible—but it’s everywhere.
In Allegany County, it’s the child quietly depending on school meals…
The parent skipping dinner so their kids can eat…
The senior stretching a fixed income just to get by.

Across New York State, food insecurity is rising—especially in rural counties like ours.
According to the New York Health Foundation, 1 in 4 low-income New Yorkers struggled to access enough food in 2023—and that number continues to grow.

At ACCORD’s Food Pantry, we’re seeing the impact firsthand:

📦 1,809 food boxes distributed this past year
🏠 760 households served — a 65% increase since 2021
🍽️ Countless local families relying on us as their primary source of food

These aren’t strangers. They’re our neighbors. Our friends. Our community.

🎯 Our Goal: $5,000 = 15,000 Meals

Every $1 = 3 meals.
Together, we can provide 15,000 meals to individuals and families across Allegany County.
