41st Annual Holiday Hunger Appeal
Why Your Support Matters
As the Regional Food Bank's longest-running and most public Appeal, the Holiday Hunger Appeal helps provide food to over 1,000 partner agencies and programs across 23 counties in northeastern New York and the Hudson Valley. Throughout our service area, one in ten adults and one in seven children don't know where their next meal is coming from.
Volunteer
Help support the appeal in person!
Holiday Hunger Appeal displays are set up at Crossgates Mall in Albany, New York, and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in Central Valley, New York. Volunteers ask shoppers to make a monetary donation to the Food Bank, and at Woodbury Common we wrap gifts as well!
Shifts are available daily at Crossgates and Thursday through Sunday at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets from Black Friday through Christmas Eve. Sign up starting October 31!
Holiday Cards
During the months of November and December, the Regional Food Bank offers the unique Holiday Gift Alternative program. This program offers people an opportunity to provide a special tribute gift to family, friends, or business associates – in lieu of giving a more traditional holiday present. For a donation of $5 or more per card, the Food Bank will send a special holiday card to the designated recipient notifying them of the special and unique endowment made in their name. Several styles are available to purchase. See further details by clicking below!
Note: Due to potential delays with USPS, orders received after Friday, December 12th are NOT guaranteed to be received by Christmas.
