Albany Field Office Helps the Needy

No one can dispute the generosity, kindness, and magnanimity of the employees and families of the HUD Albany Filed Office. As evidence, they recently collected food, water and sundries for the annual "Fed's Feed Families Campaign." The Albany Field Office had a goal of 171 lbs and completed the campaign with a total of 231 lbs. Their donations went to The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York in Albany, which is a member of the Food Bank Association whose mission is to enable New York State food banks throughout the state to better coordinate food donation efforts and campaigns.

Tom Sharlow, a HUD staff member in Albany's Financial Operations Center, volunteers his time at The Regional Food Bank, and is a representative of the Field Office, dropped off the donations on Monday, August 27th. Field Office Director Jaime Forero and Financial Operations Center Director Lester West thanked all the employees for their commitment and dedication in helping to feed the neediest people in the Albany area. In addition to Tom Sharlow, FOD Forero thanked team members Susan McManus and Patty Warn who spearheaded the collection efforts throughout the campaign.
