Labor Feeds NY: Actions Against Hunger in Nov. & Dec.

Labor Feeds NY: A Week of Action Against Hunger From November 15-23, union members across New York State will be donating food, funds and their time to help support New Yorkers in need.

November 15-23

This November, more than 3 million New Yorkers are facing a hunger crisis. Between the rising costs of groceries and the disruption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, working families across New York are at risk. The union movement will not stand by while our neighbors go hungry.

That’s why unions across New York are joining together for a statewide Week of Action. Labor Feeds New York: November 15th-23rd, 2025.

During this week, local labor federations, central labor councils and union members are encouraged to:

  • Feed – Donate non-perishable food to local pantries and school-based food programs.
  • Give – Contribute funds to hunger relief organizations making a difference in your community.
  • Serve – Volunteer at soup kitchens, food banks, and community meal sites.

Every act of solidarity, large or small, can help make a difference for families in need this fall.

December 2025

This holiday season, UUP Oneonta is proud to partner with Cooperstown-Oneonta Indivisible to support those who have served our country and others impacted by the federal government shutdown’s lingering impact on food insecurity programs.

We encourage all UUP members to join us for the Holiday Food Drive on Saturday, December 6, to benefit the Oneonta Veteran’s Outreach Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, enjoy the spirit of the season, and give back to the neediest.

📅 When: Saturday, December 6

📍 Locations & Times: There are three ways you can participate and donate…

  1. Large Donations (Bags & Full Boxes):
  2. Individual Items (“Fill the Crates”):
  3. Along the Parade Route:
    • Cooperstown-Oneonta Indivisible will be marching in the Holiday Parade with shopping carts! Feel free to hand off individual non-perishable items as they pass by.

Make a Day of It! Come out to Main Street for the Holiday Parade at 3:30 PM, stay for the Tree Lighting Ceremony at 5:00 PM, and feel great about giving back at the same time.

Let’s show our veterans and neighbors the strength of our solidarity and community spirit. We hope to see you there!
