Tops Friendly Markets, South Main Street, Elmira, NY 14904
The 10th Annual March Out Hunger was a tremendous success! Over 20,000 items were donated by area schools, Tops Friendly Markets, and other community partners. Special thanks to Tom Clinton, Tops Southside Store Manager and Marianne Kalec, Chemung Canal Trust Co for their support!
March Out Hunger is a local food drive with all three TOPS Friendly Market locations, including South Main St, Elmira, Southtown Plaza, Elmira and Consumer Square in Big Flats. The food is collected throughout September and in October we meet at Tops on the Southside, load food in carts and march it to the Samaritan Center (approximately 2 blocks). It's a huge media event with a parade of loaded shopping carts, marching band, and youth with their school banners. All proceeds benefit Catholic Charities' Samaritan Center and Meals on Wheels.
