COMMUNITY CHARITY EVENTS
Children's Miracle Network Telethonfor the past 20 years, we volunteered our time to answer phones during the Children's Miracle Network Telethon. CMN is part of our local Hospitals, and they provide assistance to women and children's services. While they no longer hold a telethon, we still participate in check presentations and donations each year!
The One Charity Golf Classic:UFCW District Union Local 1 has held their local Charity Golf Tournament for over 20 years for our community. Each year, we donate a vehicle to raffle off, and participate in the tournament to raise money for multiple different non-profit organizations in our area. The sum of the donations are given out to many local charitable causes in our area like Operation Sunshine, The Abraham House, Kids Oneida, and Leukemia Society of America.
Holiday Giving: October through December are our big holiday giving events including our Coats for Kids Coat Drive, Thanksgiving Food Drive, and Holiday Giving Trees. We collect winter clothing items for the Herkimer, CVA, Utica and Rome Elementary Schools. Our Food Drive collects non perishable items for local food pantries, and our Giving Trees donate gifts and wish list items for children in need.
