Deliveries to Food Bank of the Southern Tier cancelled due to federal cuts
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Federal cuts have led to trucks loaded with food to feed the hungry from being halted before arriving at the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. The United States Department of Agriculture cut funding to its Commodity Credit Corporation which had provided money for the Emergency Food Assistance Program. A few weeks ago, a delivery of cheese, chicken, milk, dried fruit, turkey, eggs and pork chops to the Food Bank was cancelled. The Food Bank is headquartered in Elmira and distributes items to pantries and soup kitchens across a six-county region, including Broome and Tioga Counties. The Vice President of Community Impact, Randi Quackenbush, says the delivery would have been in addition to its typical bonus loads, and therefore considered bonus-bonus. However, the cancellation represents 14% of all bonus loads, equivalent to 215,408 meals valued at over $434,000. Last week, the Food Bank got news that it will be receiving 11 additional loads of produce and nuts from another CCC program called Section 32 worth $485, 914 and representing 258,233 meals. While Quackenbush acknowledges that that represents a slight increase over the amount that was canceled, they are still disappointed about the loss of meat and dairy proteins for people with food insecurity.
