Utica, NY. Johnson Park Center (JPC) is honored and happy to share the good news that the Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties pledged $5,000 and will host the web site to accept your donations to feed people in need.

The JPC Food Pantry served 1,374,615 million meals in 2020 versus 265,725 meals in 2019. To continue to meet the demand in 2021, we need your support to fill bags with food for families and single individuals struggling during the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19). Feeding America list that each third child in New York experiences Food Insecurity, which may harm their health.

The Food Bank of Central New York reports that 63% of client households with seniors report making choices between paying for food and paying for medicine/medical care. 88% of clients agreed that receiving food at emergency food agencies helped them get the food they could not receive any other way.
