MAHOPAC – Dozens of volunteers sorted bags of non-perishable foods Sunday at Carmel Town Hall in Mahopac donated by generous Putnam County residents to feed the hungry.

Stuff the Truck resulted in hundreds of pounds of food being collected that was donated to Second Chance Foods in Brewster and the St. John’s Church Food Pantry in Mahopac.

Martha Elder of Second Chance Foods said she and her staff were “working hard to meet the surge in need and ensure more meals reach those who need them most especially in the wake of the federal government shutdown.”

Father Szymon Kurpios, pastor of St. John’s Church, said his parish’s food pantry has seen larger than normal numbers of individuals visiting to pick up food needed for family living due to the uncertain economy.
