We've moved ... again!
The Hamilton Food Cupboard has a new home at 400 Wings Way Extension.
We first relocated from our longtime location on Mill Street to 6697 Airport Road near Paul Oil and across the street from the Price Chopper. And, now, we have a new location.
A number of very helpful volunteers helped pack up food and our offices, transported them to our new location and helped get everything in place.
Despite the move, our hours remain the same: Tuesday and Thursday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
What hasn't changed is where to send any donations. They can be sent to PO box 411, Hamilton, NY 13346.
We hope you'll stop by and see our new location.

About the Hamilton Food Cupboard
Mission Statement: The Hamilton Food Cupboard is an advocate for the hungry in the Hamilton and Madison school districts. The food cupboard feeds those in need while providing information on social agencies relevant to a patron's specific needs.
What we do: Each month between 150-200 families from the Hamilton and Madison school districts visit the food cupboard.
Our summer lunch program runs for eight 8 weeks during the summer. Families of school age children receive a supplemental box of food per week to help get by when school is not in session.
We supply more than food. The Food Cupboard also has basic school supplies and backpacks for children who need them.
With our partner Price Chopper, we're able to supply fresh fruits and vegetables.
There are several issues that bring families to us, either on a regular basis or a one time visit. Loss of jobs, low paying jobs and health issues combined with the ever rising price of food and living expenses are some of the reasons families come to the Food Cupboard.
Our volunteer staff and director also make referrals to other assisting agencies, if possible.
How we do what we do: We rely heavily on community support, financially and in donated goods. We also receive monetary and food donations from churches in the area, local colleges and civic organizations and service clubs.
Hours of Operation: Tuesday and Thursday 1-6 p.m. OR by appointment
We're Located: 400 Wings Way Extension
