Are you interested in helping out a neighbor?
Each year our community makes an effort to help local families in need for the holidays. The project is Cartons For Christmas. Area churches, schools, service organizations, businesses and individuals of all ages lend their support. Last year we served 117 local families (480 people) by providing 7,050 items of food, gift cards and hundreds of toys for young children.
We invite you to participate. Donate food (canned, boxed and bagged), money to purchase perishables or a toy. Please make checks payable to Cartons For Christmas.
We cannot distribute expired food. Please check dates before donating.
Our Early Drop-off Locations (November 4 to December 4) for non-perishable food items include: Nothnagle Realtors, 85 South Union Street; Spencerport Federal Credit Union, 2775 Spencerport Road and Fowler’s Canaltown Wine & Spirits, 377 South Union Street.
Make a local child smile by providing a toy or gift. Beginning November 16, stop in at one of our three Toy Tree locations: The Unique Shop, 130 South Union Street; Fowler’s Canaltown Wine & Spirits, 377 South Union Street or Spencerport Federal Credit Union, 2775 Spencerport Road and select an angel from the ‘Toy Tree.’
An open house will be held to accept donations at St. John the Evangelist School building gym, off Martha Street in the Village of Spencerport on Friday, December 4 from 3 to 6 p.m.
We will deliver food cartons during the afternoon of Saturday, December 5.
This project is sponsored by the Ecumenical Council of area churches.
We thank you for your anticipated support and enthusiasm.
