Local leaders are taking a break from politics this afternoon to bag groceries and ask for donations.
New York State Sen. David Carlucci is among those at the Tallman ShopRite in Airmont, raising awareness about fighting hunger.
The Help Bag Hunger event, now in its second year, is also getting support from Rockland County Executive Ed Day, Rep. Ellen Jaffe and Village of Airmont Trustee Ralph Bracco.
"Food insecurity is a significant problem in Rockland County and people often don't understand," said Day. "They see an affluent suburb, they figure everything's wonderful. It's not wonderful."
The event coincides with National Hunger Action Month.
