Compassion Coalition and Bargain Grocery had the honor of hosting Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez and Erminia Rivera from the Gil Rivera Foundation. Their visit offered a valuable opportunity for us to share the initiatives we are passionate about in Central NY.
The visit of Congresswoman Velázquez, a prominent figure known for her dedication to tackling food insecurity across her district, New York, and the nation, alongside Erminia Rivera, highlights the critical importance and effectiveness of innovative approaches in this field. We are grateful for the chance to demonstrate to such distinguished guests the efforts and progress being made by Compassion Coalition.
Their tour of our new facility allowed Congresswoman Velázquez and Erminia Rivera to see firsthand how our operations are making a difference in areas affected by food deserts. It was an occasion to underscore the feasibility and impact of community-led solutions in addressing the challenges of food insecurity, inspired significantly by leaders like Congresswoman Velázquez, whose advocacy and work continue to pave the way for meaningful change.
