Ferris-Goodridge Legion Post #330 and its members, will again this year be working with Walker Brothers Funeral Home with their annual Stockings for Soldiers program. Last year, 900 stockings were sent out to military men and women overseas. This year’s goal is 2,000. That is a very large number of troops who will not be home enjoying the holidays with their families. With the support of the communities of Spencerport and its surrounding neighbors, organizers hope to make a difference for these military people for the holidays. It is also a chosen project for an Eagle Scout candidate in the Town of Greece.
Anyone wanting to help out with this project can pick up a stocking at Walker Brothers Funeral Home in Spencerport along with the suggested list of items to go into the stocking and return the filled and secure stocking back to Walker Brothers before December 1 for shipping.
Anyone wanting to make a donation of items can do so by dropping them off at the American Legion Post, 691 Trimmer Road during post hours or at the Spencerport Village Mayor’s office, 27 West Avenue.
The items requested are as follows: gum, paperback books, crossword, soduko or search-a-word books, cards, dominoes, travel size items. The stockings will be filled with those donations and taken to Walker Brothers so they can be shipped by or around December 1.
