PLATTSBURGH | Adirondack Farms and Suburban Propane recently presented a $1,000 check donation to the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties, Inc. (JCEO) to support their local food pantry programs, which works to improve community health by distributing donated, recovered, and farmed food to those in need.

Adirondack Farms Co-Owner Shane St. Cyr and Suburban Propane’s Assistant Vice President of Product Supply Craig Palleschi presented the check last week on December 28 to Development Director Ellie Jent and Community Outreach Program Director Lisa Gardner-Goodrow at the JCEO location in Plattsburgh. Also joining the check presentation were Craig’s wife, Jill, and their three sons.

On Giving Tuesday, Adirondack Farms hosted a fundraiser on its Facebook page (Adirondack Farms), encouraging community members to help raise funds for the JCEO food pantry. For each share of their Giving Tuesday Facebook post, Adirondack Farms committed to donating $5, up to a $500 donation. Suburban Propane committed to matching the funds raised. In total, $1,000 was donated to the JCEO.
