Fill the Bus Campaign raises money for local food bank
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Wegmans is stepping up to combat summertime hunger among students, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals when school is out. Wegmans is partnering with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier for its annual Fill the Bus Campaign. From now until June 18, Wegmans customers are invited to donate between $2 and $5 at the register when making their purchases. These donations help fund food baskets for students and families who miss out on school meals during the summer. Wegmans' Merchandizing Area Manager Rusty Dewing says that the organization is thrilled to be able to lend a helping hand. 'I've seen bags delivered to families that need them, and it's very touching and humbling to see that happen, and it actually just brings so much joy to know that people are getting some of the things that they may need,' said Dewing. Outside of the store, a parked school bus serves as a symbol, promoting the cause and inspiring shoppers to donate. For over 45 years, Wegmans has donated 36.6 million pounds of food to Food Banks in the areas that it serves.

Southern Tier Singers present ‘Constellation'
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Southern Tier Singers Collective is exploring the spiritual connection between humans and the heavenly bodies. The group is presenting Constellation on Saturday. The show, which is inspired by the night sky, uses sacred and secular works to evoke feelings of peace, love, and compassion in audience members. Artistic Director William Culverhouse says our lives are a cosmic narrative, drawing inspiration from the beauty and mystery of the night sky. 'The whole concert is about the stars and how our lives are reflected in them, or how we see our lives reflected in the stars, the way we love, the way we hope, the way we dream, the way we fear, the way we aspire to be better people. All of that has a relationship with the stars and the night sky,' said Culverhouse. The show will take place at 7:30 p.m. at St. Patrick's Church, located 9 Leroy Street in Binghamton. The concert is free to attend, but voluntary donations will be accepted.
