| Annual 'Tis the Season Party! |
The time of year is here to think about the holidays and the impact they have on our community. Last year, we had a very successful year with local Adopt a Family, Kids Oneida, and Veterans Outreach programs. We also collected items for the Humane society.
This year, we'll have the opportunity to help some families again. The amount raised by the staff will be matched by the WDB. Last year, we raised a total of $1080 ($540 and an equal match from WDB). We look forward to breaking last year's total!
Donations can be given to Lori Dellerba on the 2nd floor.
We would like to have all donations in by December 15th to allow time to shop and deliver to the receiving agency.
We have another dress down tomorrow, Friday, December 15th (you may pay $5.00 to wear jeans and this money will be added to the donation pot). Please see either Tonya on the 3rd floor or Lori on the 2nd floor to pay for your dress down day.
We will be helping a family through Kids Oneida, 3 single ladies from The YWCA and a family through The Veterans Outreach.
We also have boxes set up to collect items that families can't use SNAP benefits for, such as Laundry soap, tooth brushes, toothpaste, Bar soap, Dish Detergent, Paper towels, Toilet paper, Feminine Hygiene Products, wipes, diapers, etc. to help assist these families. We have boxes set up in the Herkimer and Madison County offices as well as the Rome and Utica offices.
Thank you in advance for your donations and Happy Holidays!
