The Irondequoit Community Cupboard is a not-for-profit organization designed to meet a variety of needs for families and individuals in the Town of Irondequoit, NY.
Mission Statement To serve families and individuals in need that reside in the Town of Irondequoit, by providing assistance without bias or prejudice.
We accept and appreciate donations of food, health and hygiene items, school supplies and financial assistance. We are excited to now accept PayPal.
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. Many households face food insecurity. 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 801 households this past year. That is food for 53,634 meals!! (3 meals a day for 7 days per person) Thank you for all of your donations. **We are so pleased to announce that Cams Pizzeria on Titus Avenue in Irondequoit has really stepped up to "help us help others." Cams Pizza will donate a coupon for $3 off your order for every time you come in to Cams or to the Irondequoit Community Cupboard to make a donation. This donation can be food, toys, new clothing, gift certificates or cash donations. 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. Please remember that hunger doesnt end with the holidays. Most of the households that we serve have children and during the summer months when they are home from school, their food stamps do not increase. Unfortunately, this is the time when our donations decrease. Please remember us year round. Exciting news**We are now a United Way Donor Designee! You can make donations through your pledge card with number 2466. All donations are tax deductable.
Sincerely, Debbie Evans; President message from February 26, 2008
