COHOES, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The city of Cohoes, in conjunction with the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY, held a food distribution for Cohoes residents on Tuesday.

Drive-thru pick-up was available curbside, outside of the Cohoes Visitor’s Center on 58 Remsen St., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Cohoes residents drove up and a volunteer put the box/bag of groceries in the trunk or back seat of the vehicle.
Volunteers included members of the City Council, local firefighters, the Elks Club, members from local churches, and more.
