Food Pantry Accepts $3,150 in Donations

The donations were accepted at this week's Harrison Town/Village Board Meeting. They came from several organizations and people.

The generosity of six charitable people, families or organizations will help stock the shelves of Harrison's food pantry this spring.

Harrison Director of Community Services Nina Marraccini officially accepted $3,150 in donations at Harrison's most recent town board meeting. An anonymous donor chipped in $2,000, while local families or organizations contributed the rest.

One donation—$100 from Nan Cramer—was donated in memory of Nina Marraccini Sr., who passed away earlier this spring.
