The 2nd Annual District-Wide Food Drive for Nisky NOW kicks off October 16 and runs through November 3, 2023.
Food collected during this drive supports families for the holidays as well as throughout the year.
Niskayuna High School participants will collect the side dishes for Thanksgiving and holiday dinners. Iroquois and Van Antwerp will collect peanut butter (or sun butter) and jelly respectively, which will be used throughout the school year. (Iroquois and VA will have their 2nd Annual PB v. Jelly contest!)
We are partnering again with the Niskayuna Police Department, as they will assist with picking up the food items and delivering them to the pantry.
Please refer to the list below to determine what items to donate. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Brennan niskynow@yahoo.com.
