Commerce Chenango is excited to announce the distribution of a holiday meal in two Chenango County locations on December 18, 2020. The drive-thru event is the collaboration of Commerce Chenango, SUNY Morrisville-Norwich Campus, and NBT Bank in which a total of 400 complete meals will be distributed between the two sites.

Lindsey Lefevre, Director of SUNY Morrisville Norwich Campus noted, “Community collaboration is key in successfully planning and executing this type of event and we are grateful for businesses, organizations and volunteers who consistently assist with no hesitation. As we continue to grapple with the effects of the pandemic this holiday season, it is more important than ever that we remain committed in supporting local businesses and those in need during these times.”

“NBT is proud to partner with Morrisville College and Commerce Chenango to bring the holiday food drive to our community,” says Pegi LoPresti, Corporate Relations Manager for NBT Bank. “With numerous challenges facing so many families this year, we’re proud to be able to provide support that will truly make an impact during this holiday season.
