Fifty organizations are set to receive funding through the latest grant that the Community Foundation Board of Directors approved during its quarterly meeting Dec. 18.<\/p>\n<p>For the second year, the Food Bank of Central New York is also continuing a school-based food pantry program at four public schools: Watertown City School District, Thousand Islands Central School, Clifton- Fine Central School and Heuvelton Central School, as well as for the first time, Jefferson Community College.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis grant enables us to have an impact all across the Foundation\u2019s geographic area. We know it makes a difference now and all year long for communities in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties,\u201d said Rande S. Richardson, Community Foundation executive director. \u201cSupport for these programs also continues to strengthen our long-standing partnerships with community-based food pantries and the Food Bank of Central New York, which helps leverage significantly more food for every dollar contributed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Food Bank of Central New York, one in eight people in Northern and Central New York are classified as \u201cfood insecure.\u201d Each dollar local food pantries and soup kitchens spend with the Food Bank can provide enough food for three meals.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations receiving grant support include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Jefferson County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alexandria Bay Food
