Simple steps to clearer thinking and feeling more energized!

Moving your body doesn’t have to be complicated or cost anything. Even small amounts of movement can help your body and mind feel better.

Try adding a little more movement to your day:
✔️ Take a short walk
✔️ Stretch during breaks
✔️ Take the stairs when you can

These small moments can add up and help you feel more focused, energized, and balanced.

Thank you to the legislators continuing to champion these critical programs and advocate for communities across New York.

Plant One for the Pantry! As you plan your garden this spring, we invite you to add one extra row—or even one extra plant—to help nourish our neighbors facing food insecurity.

Fresh produce makes a tremendous difference for the families we serve at Corning Community Food Pantry. Your homegrown tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, herbs, squash, beans and more help us offer healthy choices all season long.

If you’re planting anyway, planting one more is a simple act of kindness that grows into something beautiful for our community. Small seeds, BIG impact!

The annual food drive is on Saturday! To participate, remember to simply leave a bag of non-perishable food next to your mailbox for your letter carrier to pick up. Our food pantry along with others in the area benefit from this food drive, so we’d appreciate your support.

Great tip!

🥬 Got wilted greens? Don’t toss them just yet!

💧 Place greens in a bowl of ice-cold water for about 30 minutes and watch them perk right up. Not using them right away? Pat dry, store in the fridge, and enjoy within 2 days for the best crunch.

♻️ Simple tips like this help you reduce food waste and save money.
