Our MHAOC team was proud to spend the morning with Good Morning America, Tyson Foods, and the Regional Food Bank Hudson Valley at a special pop-up pantry event in Newburgh!

Together, volunteers helped provide hundreds of families with fresh food and essentials — and celebrated Tyson Foods’ generous $50,000 donation to support the Food Bank’s ongoing work across the region.

A huge thank-you to our incredible staff and members who showed up to give back. Community is stronger when we work side by side. 💛
