Troy, NY – May 8, 2017 – CEO is celebrating Community Action Month in May with a variety of volunteer activities designed to make a difference, and inspire change throughout the community. From cleaning up little league fields and senior centers to sprucing up neighborhoods and towns, the staff at CEO will spend hours making an impact in communities throughout Rensselaer County. Knowing that our customers, and many people in our community, cannot afford personal care items, CEO will also be hosting a community wide donation drive for these items throughout the month.

The drive will kick off at CEO’s Troy location at 2331 Fifth Avenue on “Fill it Friday”, May 12 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. Help CEO fill the truck by dropping off a donation of personal care items! We are in most need of diapers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, feminine hygiene products, toilet paper, paper towels and dish detergent. Donations will be accepted through the Community Action Luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy on Wednesday, May 24, 2017. All donated items will be handed out to customers visiting CEO’s food pantry.
