This Thanksgiving season, we're proud to partner once again with the Hancock Rotary Club for our annual Bags for Food Pantry Drive, benefiting Hancock's Loaves & Fishes Food Bank!
And this year, we're adding a little extra STRENGTH to every donation! 💪

💛 FOR EVERY FULL BAG OF FOOD YOU DONATE, STRENGTH BROKERAGE WILL CONTRIBUTE AN ADDITIONAL $5!
That's right! You bring the groceries, and we'll add $5 for every full bag collected to help support the cause.

🏠 HOW CAN YOU HELP?
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

🛍️ STEP 1: FILL A BAG!
Grab a brown paper or plastic grocery bag and fill it with non-perishable food items.

🥫 STEP 2: DROP IT OFF!
Bring your full bag to:

📍 STRENGTH BROKERAGE LLC

Hancock, NY 13783
📅 October 10 – November 26, 2026

📸 STEP 3: SNAP, SHARE & INSPIRE!
Take a photo when you drop off your donation and share it on Facebook! Tag Strength Brokerage and the Hancock Rotary Club to encourage friends, family and other local businesses to join the mission.

🥫 WHAT SHOULD GO IN YOUR BAG?

✅ Canned vegetables and fruit
✅ Soups and canned meals
✅ Pasta, rice and boxed dinners
✅ Peanut butter
✅ Breakfast cereal and oatmeal
✅ Other shelf-stable pantry essentials

Please donate unopened, non-expired items that do not require refrigeration.

❤️ WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

As temperatures drop and Thanksgiving approaches, some of our neighbors face difficult choices between groceries, heating bills and other household expenses.

A simple bag of food can make a meaningful difference. And when families, businesses, churches, civic organizations and neighbors work together, those small acts of generosity add up!

💬 "At Strength Brokerage, we believe a strong community is built by neighbors looking out for neighbors. Every bag of food represents a family we can help, a table we can fill, and a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference."

— John Mason, President, Strength Brokerage LLC

🛍️ ONE BAG. TWO BAGS. TEN BAGS!

Whether you're donating as an individual, a family or a business, EVERY FULL BAG COUNTS! Let's fill the shelves at Loaves & Fishes and help make Thanksgiving a little brighter for our Hancock neighbors.

💛 SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
❤️ NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS.
💪 STRONGER TOGETHER!

🦃 LET'S SHOW EVERYONE WHAT HANCOCK CAN DO WHEN WE COME TOGETHER!
