Spectrum announced a donation of $1,000 to Good Neighbors' “Nourishing Our Neighbors” program, which provides food and other essentials to those in need in the Broome County area. 

The donation from Spectrum, the parent company of Spectrum News 1, came from the Spectrum Employee Community Grants.

“We are deeply grateful to Spectrum and the Employee Community Grants program for their generous support of our Nourishing Our Neighbors initiative," said Krista Bunzey, Good Neighbors New York State coordinator. “This funding helps us continue our mission of delivering food and essential supplies to families across Broome County who are facing hardship. It’s especially meaningful to receive this donation through a program that recognizes and uplifts the volunteer efforts of Spectrum employees. Partnerships like this are vital in creating a more resilient and compassionate community.”

Spectrum Employee Community Grants provides support to community organizations where local employees already volunteer their time, said Rahman Khan, group vice president of Community Impact for Charter Communications.

"Together, we’re building stronger communities where our customers and employees live and work across America," Khan said.

Spectrum Employee Community Grants has provided funding to more than 591 local nonprofits in 35 states throughout the company’s service area since its inception in July 2019.

Recipients deliver critical social services, helping underserved residents meet basic needs, including food, shelter, clothing, job training and neighborhood safety.
