SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) –You may have seen an increase in Naval presence this week in Central New York. That’s because it’s Navy Week. Sailors are giving back to our community through a variety of ways all week.

Seaman Chloe Whaley has been a sailor for seven months and is experiencing her first navy week.
“Helping those in need or that are less fortunate, it is a humbling experience,” Whaley said.
She and a few other sailors spent their afternoon packaging up food for the Cortland community at the Food Bank of Central New York. Each box represents a thank you from these men and women.
“Without the community, there is no Navy. I think that’s a very good thing to give back too,” Whaley said.
