Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York's Third Thanksgiving Distribution Will Provide 575,000 Holiday Meals: 45 Mass Distribution Sites Across 23 Counties,
ALBANY, New York — The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York announced that its third annual Thanksgiving meal distribution will provide 575,000 Thanksgiving dinner meals at 45 mass distribution sites across 23 counties in New York State, including 10,000 hot-prepared meals delivered directly to senior sites; the food bank says this year's effort will be the largest in the nation. The initiative began in 2024, after Albany nonprofit Equinox discontinued its longtime community Thanksgiving dinner.
According to the food bank and the Capital Region Thanksgiving food assistance guide, distributions run on Saturday, November 21, starting at 10 a.m., on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, with one Thanksgiving basket per car or household. Each recipient receives two bags of groceries weighing about 42 pounds, containing a turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, green beans and other traditional Thanksgiving ingredients, plus apples, potatoes and apple pie. The food bank states that a total of 4,500 community volunteers will be needed, working with agency partners and community leaders; the Thanksgiving Hotline is (838) 900-5180 and the email is [email protected] .
The senior delivery sites are reserved for residents of those communities and are not open to the general public, covering senior apartments and communities across Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady counties and beyond; the county-by-county list of the 45 mass distribution sites is published on the food bank's 2026 Thanksgiving distribution page.
