In the Community | Caring for Your Health and Wellness

We know that health and wellness begin at home, right where we live and work.

By joining with these committed organizations, we are impacting lives together - feeding those who are hungry, bringing fun and joy to families, and helping to ensure that our friends and neighbors have the care and services they need to lead healthier, happier lives.

Backpack Heroes is a special program designed to fight weekend hunger coordinated by Fidelis Care, The Food Bank of Northeastern New York, and WRGB-Channel 6. 

Through the program, participating students receive backpacks full of food each Friday to help ensure they do not go hungry over the weekend when they are not in school.

Each year, Backpack Heroes is supported by caring community members, whose donations help to fight weekend hunger. Over the past six years, Fidelis Care has raised over $400,000 for this cause.
