Canastota Community Chest Begins Campaign

To the Residents and Businesses in the Greater Canastota area:

It is very apparent that the recent economic conditions have made it that much more difficult to provide for our homes and families. And the same is true for the not-for-profit agencies that provide critically needed programs to the people in the greater Canastota area. In addition these agencies are experiencing a reduction in government funding while seeing an unprecedented increase in the number of requests for services from our local residents.

The Board of Directors of the Canastota Community Chest has established a goal for the 2009/2010 campaign of $60,000 to continue our support of the following agencies:

American Red Cross Madison/Oneida Chapter – Disaster relief

Boy Scouts of America-Revolutionary Trails Council – Boy and Cub Scout troops

Canastota Boy Scouts – Local Troop 143 and Cub Scouts

Canastota Canal Town Corporation – Canastota Canal Town Museum

Canastota Children’s Council – Summer Enrichment Program

Canastota Recreation Commission – Winter Carnival and Summer Concerts

Catholic Charities Oneida/Madison Counties – Helping local people in need

Celebration Children’s Center of Canastota, Inc. – Handwriting without Tears Program

Community Action Program for Madison County, Inc. – Mentoring Partnership Program

Girl Scouts-Foothills Council, Inc. – 8 Canastota Girl Scout Troops

Great Swamp Conservancy, Inc. – Preserving wetlands and wildlife for future generations

Heritage Farm, Inc. – Services to developmentally disabled persons

Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. – Bereavement Program

Jim Marshall Farms Foundation, Inc. – Adaptive cart driving/carriage ride programs

Loaves and Fishes Hospitality Center – Last week of the Month Food Program

Madison Cortland ARC – Making differences in lives of people with disabilities

Madison County 4-H Foundation, Inc. – 4-H Youth Fair

Madison County Children’s Camp – Free residential camp program for 109 local children

Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) – Matches seniors to volunteer opportunities

Ride for Life Equine and Family Center, Inc. – Christian therapeutic horseback riding

The Opportunity Shop – Local food bank and thrift store

Victims of Violence/Liberty Resources, Inc. – Helps victims of violent crimes

Wanderer’s Rest Humane Association, Inc. – Shelter for lost and abandoned animals

This goal is most ambitious and it is because we strongly believe in its purpose. Every effort is made to keep contributed dollars local and any donor can stipulate a specific agency or agencies to which they wish their dollars to go. This year’s campaign starts September 1st and will conclude on October 31st. Your support of this campaign and the vital help that it will provide will be greatly appreciated by the 23 agencies that support the greater Canastota area. Mail your tax-deductible contribution payable to Canastota Community Chest, Inc. along with the following form to PO Box 9, Canastota, NY 13032
