Food Donations

​

The Ulster County Food Fight, a food collection contest aiming to "spread food all over Ulster County" by filling the shelves of local food pantries, is a cooperative effort joined by 15 Ulster County public libraries from Sept. 1 until Saturday, Oct. 15. The common goal is to fill up the shelves of local food pantries and put an end to hunger in local communities. Last year, library patrons in Ulster County donated 4,678 items. This year's goal is 6,000 items. The library that collects the most food items will win the Food Fight and receive a certificate and "bragging rights for the year," organizers said.
