Every year in time for the holidays, the Spencerport community reaches out to help local families who are struggling. The project is Cartons for Christmas. Area churches, schools, service organizations, businesses and individuals of all ages lend their support.
Last year, we served 142 local families by providing gift cards, food and 203 toys for young children.
We request your help with donations and invite you to volunteer at cartonsvolunteers@gmail.com.
Gift cards and cash donations can be dropped off at St John’s Parish Center, 55 Martha Street, Spencerport, from November 1 through 27, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or contact Cartonxmas@aol.com or text 585-750-5341 to arrange a time. Please make checks payable to Cartons for Christmas.
There will be an Open House to accept unexpired food items (no glass please) on Friday, December 1, from 3 to 6 p.m. at St. John’s school building gym, 65 Martha Street, Spencerport. Early drop-off locations for food in are Fowler’s Canaltown Wine & Spirits, 377 South Union Street, and Hunt Real Estate ERA, 85 South Union Street, Spencerport.
Frozen turkeys may be donated on Saturday, December 2, at 12:30 p.m. at St John’s school building, 65 Martha Street.
Make a local child smile by providing a toy or gift. Beginning November 13, select an angel from the Toy Tree at one of three locations: Spencerport Federal Credit Union, 2775 Spencerport Road; Fowler’s Canaltown Wine & Spirits, 377 South Union Street; or The Unique Shop, 130 South Union Street.
We will deliver food cartons during the afternoon of Saturday, December 2.
This project is sponsored by the Ecumenical Council of area churches. We thank you for your anticipated support!
