To Benefit the Food Bank of the Southern Tier
Corning, NY August 2014 — Staff members from the Gentiva Home Health office here will be blanketing Steuben and Chemung Counties throughout August, distributing food collection bags and gathering donations for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier as part of the company’s 10th Annual Food Drive.
