FEATURED EVENTS

In keeping with Dr. King's legacy, the 2024-2025 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Statewide Food Drive will mark the 25th anniversary of the community service initiative. New York State Agencies and several community-based organizations helped to collect over 764,665 pounds of food and raised over $154,859 in donations to date. Donations are collected and distributed in every region of the state; from the major urban areas of New York City, Albany, and Buffalo, to the rural towns of Sherburne, and Ogdensburg. The food drive is co-sponsored by Feeding New York State.

This opportunity is being offered at 11:00 a.m. every Saturday in December, January, February, and March, weather permitting. It is designed for people who are beginners, interested in trying snowshoeing as a new winter activity. Each session will be run by a Sam's Point employee, who will provide instruction on how to properly wear and adjust the snowshoes. They'll also work with you until you are ready to head out on your favorite trail with confidence. The lesson may last up to one hour. Snowshoes are available to rent for this program at a discounted rate of $5 per person at the Sam's Point Visitor Center.
