OLEAN, NY (Oct. 9, 2024) – A $25,000 grant to the Olean Food Pantry from an anonymous local family foundation is a challenge for more community donations.

Olean Food Pantry received the grant Friday toward its $1 Million Fundraising Campaign announced earlier this year. The grant urges additional funding from the community entering the holiday giving season, OFP officials said.

“This grant is a major step toward addressing unprecedented levels of hunger in our communities,” said David Potter, Olean Food Pantry Board President. “We entered this year with a goal to address a 95.4 percent increase in pantry clients since 2020. That need has officially more than doubled since then. We seek community solutions to community problems, which aren’t tied to politics or other issues.”
