ALBANY, N.Y (April 29, 2021) — Feed Albany is proud to announce that Albany-based Ostroff Associates has pledged $25,000 to match the goal of their Spring 2021 fundraising campaign.

Feed Albany, which currently utilizes commercial kitchens in Downtown Albany (primarily dp: An American Brasserie) to produce freshly cooked meals that are distributed each Wednesday, is utilizing the fundraiser to support moving to its own facility in Sheridan Hollow and outfitting a fully functioning commercial kitchen.

To date, Feed Albany has raised more than $400,000 from generous donors across the Capital Region since its founding just over a year ago. The donation from Ostroff Associates is the second largest one-time donation to Feed Albany.

“We are greatly appreciative of the very generous donation from Rick, Diana, and the team at Ostroff Associates,” said Matthew Peter, president, Feed Albany. “It’s amazing how much support we have received since we began our mission. We are excited to move into our new home that will allow us to help more at-risk individuals and families. No one deserves to wonder if they will be able to eat today.”

“We take our role as community stewards very seriously, and when we saw the amazing work the Feed Albany team was doing during the pandemic, we knew we had to step up and help,” said Rick Ostroff, president and CEO, Ostroff Associates. “Food insecurity is an issue our firm is dedicated to combating. By supporting this great organization, we are making strides in that fight here in Albany.”
