COVID-19 impacts have led to an increase in local food insecurity, affecting the most vulnerable populations in our county. The Tompkins County Sheriff's Office will be conducting a "Fill the Cruiser" food drive in partnership with Tops Market to help out or local community. The event will take place this Saturday, May 22nd, from 10am to 2pm at the Tops Market located at 2300 N. Triphammer Rd., Ithaca NY. All proceeds will be donated to the St. John's Community Center.
Most unopened, unexpired, and unprepared foods will be accepted. They are in most need of the following non-perishable low sodium, low fat and low sugar items: Peanut butter, granola bars, cereal, kid-friendly healthy snacks, nuts, beans, lentils, brown rice, raisins & other dried fruits, whole wheat pasta, crackers, and canned fruit & vegetables (pop-top lids). All donations will receive a reusable Tompkins County Sheriff's Office shopping bag.
Help Us, Help Others.
