Summary
Schenectady Shares, an all-volunteer network supporting more than 20 food pantries, will serve as grand marshal for the 2025 Schenectady County Holiday Parade on Saturday, Nov. 22, officials announced.
Schenectady County Legislature announced that Schenectady Shares, an all-volunteer network that supports more than 20 food pantries, will serve as grand marshal for the 2025 Schenectady County Holiday Parade on Saturday, Nov. 22, in downtown Schenectady.
The announcement said Schenectady Shares collects nonperishable food and personal-care items, helps source pantry-specific needs and provides both supplies and funding so local pantries can meet families' needs. The statement noted volunteers assist with recognizing cultural food preferences and addressing transportation barriers between donors and the organizations that serve families.
The legislature presented the designation as an acknowledgement of the volunteers' role connecting donors to pantries across the county. No additional details about the parade route, event schedule, or logistical arrangements were provided during the announcement.
