Gratitude in Action: Thank You for Supporting Our Holiday Events and Donation Drives!

As the holiday season winds down and we welcome the new year, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in and contributed to our holiday events and donation drives. Your generosity, spirit, and dedication to community made this season truly special.

Reflecting on the Joy and Impact

This past holiday season, we set out to make a meaningful difference in our community by organizing several events and drives. Thanks to your support, our efforts exceeded expectations. Here’s what we accomplished together:

Donation Drives

• School Supplies Drive: With your help, we provided backpacks, notebooks, and essential tools to ensure that students in our community could start the new year ready to succeed. Your contributions put smiles on countless young faces to kids in 19 local elementary schools throughout Oneida, Herkimer and Fulton Counties!
• Coat Drive: Winter can be harsh, but thanks to your kindness, many individuals and families now have warm coats to protect them against the cold. Every coat you donated was a gesture of care that truly mattered. We broke a record and donated 1,017 items of winter outerwear, including Coats, Snow Pants, Hats, Gloves, Mittens, Snow Boots and Scarves to kids throughout local elementary schools, including Herkimer and CVA!
• Food Drive: During a time when no one should go hungry, your generosity provided meals for families in need. The outpouring of support filled not only pantries but also hearts to those that utilize the Catholic Charities of Herkimer County Food Pantry.
• Holiday Gift Drive: From toys and books to clothing and gift cards, you helped ensure that children in our community experienced the magic of the holidays. Your donations transformed wishes into reality for the Adopt-a-Family program through ICAN! We collected over 500 gifts and about 70 rolls of wrapping paper this year!

Santa’s Showroom

• 1st Annual Success! What’s the holiday season without Santa? With your participation and efforts, we created a festive wonderland where families could meet Santa, take photos, and revel in the holiday spirit. The joy in the air was contagious! Thank you to all who attended, we can’t wait for next year.

Together, We Made a Difference

Through your contributions and involvement, you didn’t just donate or attend an event—you became part of something bigger. You helped build a stronger, more connected, and compassionate community.

The ripple effect of your kindness will be felt far beyond the holiday season. Each meal shared, coat donated, and moment of joy created reminded us all of the power of coming together.

Looking Ahead

As we move into the new year, we carry with us the warmth and generosity you shared this past season. We’re excited to continue working with such an incredible community and invite you to join us in future initiatives to make a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Let’s keep the spirit of giving and togetherness alive all year long.

Happy New Year!
From all of us at Steet Ponte Chevy in Herkimer!
