COVID-19 RESOURCES
We are in unprecedented times as we all deal with the consequences of this virus. The health of our staff, our clients and our community at large is our number one priority. We are constantly monitoring and assessing our services and how best to support those who need it most. We recognize and want to be available to you with as much resource information as possible to help you during this difficult time. We will continue to update this list and information as it becomes available.
HOW TO ACCESS FOOD IF YOU’RE IN NEED:
If you are in need of food, PLEASE USE the Food Bank of the Southern Tier Food Finder link and use your local pantry FIRST. Turning Point is here for you, if all the food pantries are closed in your town. The Food Bank list is updated daily with a list of food pantries available in towns.
FOOD BANK OF THE SOUTHERN TIER FOOD DISTRIBUTION The Food Bank is holding Community Food Distributions which can serve several hundred households IN NEED at one distribution. The Community Food Distributions will be centrally located in each of the six counties we serve. The two largest counties – Steuben and Broome – will be served by three distribution sites. Clients will stay in their cars as emergency food boxes are loaded into their cars to reduce contact. Read the latest on DATES & LOCATIONS: https://www.foodbankst.org/covid-19-updates/
