The Food Sense program is a service of the Food Bank of Central New York. The Oswego County Salvation Army is the official site for the City of Oswego and vicinity. A basic assortment of food items is offered each month, along with several specials. Nine Oswego families used the program in September.
The Oswego County Salvation Army Corps provides fresh-cooked meals five days each week in both Fulton and Oswego, groceries from its food pantries, winter garments, and many other services to individuals and families in need throughout Oswego County. In September, the Corps provided 461 soup kitchen meals in Oswego and 389 in Fulton. It provided 73 Oswego households with groceries for 1,503 meals and 69 Fulton households with groceries for 1,530 meals. It also distributed over 600 loaves of bread and pastries.
The Christmas kettles will soon be out and there will be many opportunities for families, organizations, work groups, and individuals to stand with the kettles and enjoy an amazingly satisfying holiday experience. Persons wishing to know more about The Salvation Army or to offer voluntary service are invited to call 315-343-6491 or stop at the office at 73 West Second Street in Oswego, between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., Monday through Friday.
