Times Union: St. Peter’s Adds to Albany Food Drive

The Times Union published a story about SPHP’s participation in a recent food drive in partnership with The Food Pantries for the Capital District. Over the course of the food drive, staff at St. Peter’s Hospital and Albany Memorial Hospital donated a total of 2,000 pounds of food – matching the goal of the entire city-wide food drive – which represents 1,666 meals for the Capital Region’s most vulnerable residents.
