Dear Friends,
Irondequoit Community Cupboard has seen tremendous change in our community the last few years. We have seen the evidence of job layoffs and budget cuts. We have seen gas and utility prices rise dramatically. We have seen seniors struggle to pay for their medication, utilities, taxes and food while trying to remain in their home. We have seen families who are unemployed or more often, underemployed.  And yes, we have moved to a new location where it will cost us more money to maintain our services. We need YOUR help. Every single dollar makes a difference. We ask that you please make a tax-deductible donation to "help us help others." In these times when so many of us live paycheck to paycheck, you never know when YOU might need our assistance.
The Irondequoit Community Cupboard's board of Directors would like to thank the people of the town of Irondequoit for allowing us to help so many people this past year. Our cupboard, which operates year round serves an average of 59 families per month! We help people who are unemployed, underemployed, disabled, those o­n social security and those who just occasionally need our help. Because of your generosity of food, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, and money we have served 597 families this past year. That is food for 12, 567 meals!! Thank you for all of your donations. Thank you to all who were so generous to the cupboard during our newsletter drive, we appreciate your kindness!
Our cupboard is in need of energetic volunteers who will help us solicit donations of food, school supplies (for Back to School Night which is in late August) and gifts for the upcoming holidays. We also need energetic people who are willing to coordinate food drives through their churches, schools and other organizations. Our food cupboard relies o­n the efforts of our wonderful community.

Sincerely,
Debbie Evans; President
