18th Annual Holiday Gift Drive

November 28th-December 18th, 2025

November 28th-December 18th, 2025: Happy holidays from our families to yours! For the past 18 years we've donated to different local schools and organizations to help put a smile on the faces of our local kids in need.

This year, we adopted families in Herkimer County through The Neighborhood Center and were proudly able to donate over 470 gifts total, and an additional 150+ for families in Amsterdam and Gloversville.

These wonderful organizations help support a number of family and children services throughout Oneida and Herkimer Counties.

Thank you so much to everyone who continued to spread joy and make the holidays a little brighter for our community members in need!

"My brother and I started the food drive as a way to give back to our community during the Thanksgiving season. It has grown immensely, from our first year of filling up one vehicle, to now over 2,000 items being donated in 10 vehicles! These organizations do so much to revitalize the area and help our community members in need; we are so happy we could help in this way,'' Carly Steet Mathias stated.

We collected a record breaking 1,425 items of winter outerwear, including 444 winter coats, the rest in snow pants, boots, hats, gloves, mittens and scarves!

"We started this Coat Drive in response to our now, 18th annual Holiday Toy Drive. Year after year, we were getting overwhelming requests for winter coats and snow pants instead of toys. Finally, in 2018, we decided to create the Coats for Kids Coat Drive, so our local children in need are ready for the winter weather. Our children completely took this and ran with it, in 2022, we donated 675 articles of winter clothes, in 2023, over 900, 2024 hit an all time high with over 1,000!'' Joe Steet Sr. stated.
