In keeping with Dr. King's legacy, the 2024-2025 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Statewide Food Drive will mark the 25th anniversary of the community service initiative. New York State Agencies and several community-based organizations helped to collect over 764,665 pounds of food and raised over $154,859 in donations to date. Donations are collected and distributed in every region of the state; from the major urban areas of New York City, Albany, and Buffalo, to the rural towns of Sherburne, and Ogdensburg. The food drive is co-sponsored by Feeding New York State.
