Though the leaves are starting to fall and the Thanksgiving turkey is not yet carved, it is not too soon to think about the annual Stockings for Soldiers program. Auxiliary Unit #330 of the Ferris Goodridge American Legion Post and Walker Brothers Funeral Home in Spencerport and also Perotto/Bartolomeo Funeral Home on Vintage Lane in Greece are again this year organizing the Stocking project.
The Auxiliary’s goal this year is filling 1,000 stockings to send to men and women serving overseas who will not be home to spend time with family and friends during the holiday season. These men and women are serving in Korea, Kuwait, Japan, Italy, at the facility at Gitmo, and many sailors out at sea on various ships.
Anyone interested in helping with this project can drop off supplies for the stockings at the Legion Post at 691 Trimmer Road during post hours. Phone 352-6691. Supplies need to be at the post office by November 3. Any supplies that may be left over from the stockings will be used for the care packages that continue to go out on a monthly basis.
