State Sen. Joe Addabbo’s office on Monday began its annual Fall Food Drive, accepting non-perishables to be donated to Sacred Heart Parish Ministries Food Pantry in Glendale. Dry food, canned goods, condiments and cooking ingredients like flour and oil can be dropped off at either of Addabbo’s offices in Woodhaven or Middle Village, from Oct. 6 to Nov. 24.
“I talked to people in line who have a job, or two jobs and are just trying to provide for their families. This is for anyone,” Addabbo said. “Whether its the rising prices of common produce or the cost of living; these days there are multiple factors as to why these food pantries are needed.”
