‘The Full Plate Project' working to reduce hunger in the community
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – United Way of Broome County is calling on local organizations to join it in its fight to end hunger.
United Way announced the return of The Full Plate Project, an annual initiative that aims to provide local families and individuals with healthy food.
The Full Plate Project supports local programs that provide meals to those in need as well as critical services. According to United Way, 43.7% of Broome County residents lack reliable access to nutritious food.
Through the initiative, United Way has donated over $179,000 to food insecurity programs in order to reduce hunger in the community. In 2025, the organization aims to reach even more families by inviting local businesses and organizations to join the effort as sponsors and community partners.
Through sponsorship, organizations will contribute to hunger relief efforts through donations, service, and leadership. Regardless of the sponsorship level, 100% of donations go directly to food insecurity programs. Sponsorship levels are designed to accommodate a wide range of budgets and goals.
Those who are interested in becoming a Hunger Hero or learning more about partnership opportunities can contact Patrick Kerley by calling (607)240-2027 or by email at pkerley@
