To the editor:
December is a month in which we spend time reflecting on the joy and love of the season. We have much to be thankful for in our community and this is especially obvious during challenging and stressful times. There are many organizations who step forward to help and The United Community Chest of Cazenovia, Fenner and Nelson Neighbors Helping Neighbors campaign drive recognizes those organizations.
Every November the United Community Chest asks the community to contribute to the annual fund drive. Last year through the generosity of our neighbors, the United Community Chest distributed $26,000 to 10 agencies. For the 2016 campaign UCC is hoping to attain a goal of $30,000 as a result from the fundraising efforts.
Cazenovia Children’s House (CCH) is grateful to be one of the organizations that receive funds. The funds are used for our tuition assistance fund to help families with emergency or on-going financial assistance for their child’s care and educational program.
We are very appreciative of our neighbors who volunteer their time and expertise on the UCC Board of Directors to help our community. We encourage everyone to follow their thoughtful example by donating to Neighbors Helping Neighbors.
Torrey Lansing, Executive Director
Cazenovia Children’s House
