Dinner Fundraiser To Benefit Lions Club SNAP Match

COOPERSTOWN—According to officials, more people than ever are using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to purchase food at the Cooperstown Farmers’ Market. A Cooperstown Lions Club program helps food-insecure people purchase more food at the market, matching the SNAP spend up to $20.00.

The Lions are planning a fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting the club’s SNAP Match Program. Willy’s Good Chicken Dinner will be held on Saturday, August 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hulse Hill Farm, 5928 State Highway 28 in Fly Creek, in conjunction with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Family Farm Day. The meal, for takeout or dine-in, is $15.00 and includes a quarter chicken barbecued on site, baked beans, roll, coleslaw, homemade pie, and beverage. Covered seating is available in the event of rain.
