The Food Pantry for the Capital DistrictNatasha Pernicka, Executive Director32 Essex Street Albany NY 12206518-458-1167https://thefoodpantries.org/Food PantryFor some, a food pantry is a source of emergency assistance. For many, it is a supplement to low or fixed income, loss of income due to illness or job loss, or loss of second income for single parents. Food pantries help provide nutritious food to babies, children, seniors, veterans, and struggling families. Our member food pantries provide enough groceries for a minimum of 3 meals per day for at least 3 days for each person in the household.Natasha@thefoodpantries.orgSS 9/12/20
