Food for Vets Drive

Since 2007, HVCU staff and members have come together each October to collect food for military veterans who use the Castle Point Veterans Food Bank in Wappingers Falls. As our cooperative continues to grow and expand its footprint, we’re proud to extend our support to include the Albany VA Medical Center — broadening our impact and reaching even more veterans in need.

From October 1-25, rolling grocery carts will be placed in all 40 of our branches if you are interested in donating to this drive. You can review the lists below to see items that are most in need. We also ask that you check expiration dates prior to donating as expired food will be discarded.

If anyone prefers to make a financial donation, checks can be mailed directly to the Veterans Administration. The checks should be made out to HVHCS, Castle Point with GPF 1006 Food Pantry in the memo line and/or the Albany VA Medical Center and mailed to:

VAHVHCS, Castle Point  
41 Castle Point Road
Castle Point Campus, Voluntary Services 
Wappingers Falls, NY 12590

Albany VA Medical Center
113 Holland Ave
Albany, NY 12208

Thank you for helping to support our veterans - either by spreading the word to members or donating yourself.
