Troy Bands to support local food pantry this Wednesday

TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- A collective of local bands will hold a food drive and fundraiser for the Oakwood Community Center in Troy on Wednesday. The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the community center.

The bands will collect food at their shows from Wednesday until the end of November, leading to the "Rock the Pantry" showcase at the Hangar on the Hudson on November 23. The Oakwood Food Pantry serves 50 to 60 families each week and these food collections will only further benefit these families in need.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event. Those attending should park on Ninth Street off Hoosick Street and enter the center on the Hoosick side door.
