Cooperstown Food Pantry Thriving with Continuing Support

The Cooperstown Food Pantry is extremely grateful to its community of donors who, at the end of 2023, contributed to a successful fund-raising activity. The Cooperstown Food Pantry Inc. is a non-profit tax-exempt organization, serving Otsego County since 1977. Its mission is to address issues of poverty and hunger in our county.

There are many reasons for the organization to be grateful. At the end of 2023, a matching grant of $10,000.00 from The Scriven Foundation, as well as an anonymous donor’s gift of $5,000.00, gave the organization a vigorous jump start. Businesses, churches, community organizations, individuals and Cooperstown Food Pantry volunteers contributed an additional $92,661.00.
