Annual Fundraising Gala

Everyone enjoyed a wonderful evening raising funds for critical needs in Chemung and Schuyler Counties!  Because of the community's generosity, over $35,000 was raised that will go toward providing food at the Elmira Community Kitchen, helping families experiencing homelessness, and creating a pantry for individuals and families to shop for their food needs. 

If you would like to be further involved in making a difference in your community, join us via any of these opportunities:
•    adopt families for Christmas;
•    give monthly to support specific programs;
•    volunteer for one of our programs, or special events;
•    volunteer (you or your group) to serve a meal at the Elmira Community Kitchen;
•    host a Bags of HOPE event with your business, civic organization, church, or family. 

We would love to have you join us as we continue to create change for those in need in our community. Please contact Katie Rhodes, our Director of Development and Communications to learn more about these opportunities. She can be reached via email.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that ongoing, critical needs are met in our community. You are playing a vital role in developing dignified paths for those in need on their journey away from poverty. 
 

Please donate to help us exceed our
fundraising goal of $30,000!
