Thanksgiving

Holiday Food Basket Distribution Project

Giving to those in need:

The staff of CFLR, along with the support of local sponsors and partners, provide holiday meal baskets for needy families in our community.  An annual giving tradition, staff and volunteers load up the donations for a special distribution day.

The tradition continues.  In 2021, the CFLR team is pleased to announce that we have brightened the holidays for a total of 38 local families through the combined efforts of holiday food drives at several locations in the Mohawk Valley, along with the support from a variety of generous sponsors.  Each family identified was referred by their respective worker.
