Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Giveaway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early October, we invite low-income residents to sign-up for Thanksgiving & Christmas food. Food is for Tioga County residents. Some businesses, organizations, families and churches adopt registered families, providing food for one or both holidays. We are always looking for new organizations and families who are willing to adopt families during this special time of year! **Holiday food sign-ups are from <\/em>October 1st, 2025 to October 10th, 2025**<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nutrition Education Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a series of free nutrition education workshops, which include a cooking demonstration, recipe tasting and group discussion on practical nutrition topics like meal planning and eating healthy on a budget. These workshops are done in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tioga County and the Just Say Yes program of the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. **As a result of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ these nutrition programs are currently on hold**<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

Back to School<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program addresses the needs of teens as they gear up for a new school year. Teens are given a budget and the opportunity to pick their own clothes and shoes at stores they want to shop at! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Easter Project for Seniors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite youth from area schools to create Easter cards for senior residents living at Riverview Nursing Home in Owego and Elderwood Skilled Nursing Care and Assisted Living in Waverly. Volunteers deliver the cards along with small stuffed animals. The cards from the children are always a big hit!<\/p>\n<\/div>
