Have you voted or made your plans to yet?
🎨And if can you believe it - it's First Friday once again!
I'll definitely be out wandering trying to see what's new in all of the recitals. Seems to be a fun concert at Atomic Tom's as well!

✅This week's recommendation:
As If you can, consider donating some cash to local food pantries like CHOW and the Food Bank of the Southern Tier
As SNAP benefits are set to lapse on Nov. 1, the county has declared a state of emergency as delays and reductions are anticipated for SNAP food assistance programs (WSKG)
If you need it, here is Broome County Food Council’s emergency food access map
Broome County also added an emergency food assistance guide to its website
Let me know ways I can improve this newsletter!
