Today, National Food Bank Day, we take a moment to honor the tireless efforts of food banks and their volunteers who work year-round to combat hunger. Food insecurity affects millions of individuals and families, and food banks provide a lifeline to those in need. FLPPS is proud to partner with organizations like Foodlink and Food Bank of the Southern Tier on innovative programs addressing food insecurity in our region. They provide hope and nourishment to families in need, especially during challenging times.   Millions of people across the nation rely on food banks every year and the need has never been greater. So, let’s continue to support these vital organizations—together, we can work towards a future where no one goes hungry.   #NationalFoodbankDay #SupportLocalFoodBanks #EndHunger #CommunitySupport #GiveBack #FightHunger
