ALBANY — Representatives from the Freihofer’s Run for Women recently presented a check for $7,600 to the Community Foundation of the Greater Capital Region and the United Way of the Greater Capital Region’s The Capital Region Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

(CSSC), which has made adjustments to its Senior Dining, Umbrella and Transportation programs and has expanded its capacity to operate seven days a week. 

For the last few months, CSSC has provided 1,200 nutritious take-out and home delivered lunches and more than 325 dinners weekly to seniors in Albany County.
