A Special Sullivan Chamber Networking Breakfast Worth the Trip

This month, the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce and Industry is taking our popular Monthly Networking Breakfast on the road for a unique and meaningful visit to the Regional Food Bank Hudson Valley in Montgomery, NY.

While the event takes place just outside Sullivan County, the work happening there reaches deep into our community every day. The Regional Food Bank is a not-for-profit organization that collects donated food from the food industry and distributes it to more than 1,000 partner agencies and programs feeding our neighbors in need throughout 23 counties of northeastern New York. The food provided by the Regional Food Bank helps to feed over 350,000 people each month. In 2025, the Food Bank distributed in Sullivan County more than 2.1 million pounds of food (enough for over 1.8 million meals) to our neighbors in need. Our vision is that all people have the nutritious food they need to thrive. 

We are also proud to recognize our presentation sponsor SERVPRO of Orange, Sullivan & So. Ulster Counties. Known across the region for helping homes and businesses recover after fire, water, and storm damage, SERVPRO has built a reputation for showing up when communities need them most. Their continued support of the Chamber and our business community helps make gatherings like this possible.

This breakfast is more than a chance to exchange business cards. It is an opportunity to strengthen connections, gain insight into an organization that quietly makes an enormous difference, and learn how our business community can continue to support efforts that fight hunger across the region.

Join us for a morning of networking, learning, and community connection. The short trip to Montgomery will be well worth it.
