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. Twelve Oswego families used the program in May.
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 August, the Corps provided 398 soup kitchen meals in Oswego and 459 in Fulton. It provided 65 Oswego households with groceries for 1,665 meals and 53 Fulton households with groceries for 1,179 meals. It also distributed over 650 loaves of bread and pastries.
