Annual appeal to support our local food pantries
As many of you know, Weller Group is a collection site for the local food pantries in Ontario & Macedon1 which benefits the families of students in need of support within the Wayne Central School District. (1Walworth does not have a designated food pantry, however, the Macedon food pantry helps support residents within the town of Walworth.)
Weller Group accepts donations year-round, but the holiday season can be an especially trying time for some local families. We would like to extend an invitation to our clients, families and friends to stop at Weller Group with any of the items listed below by December 15th so we can deliver to the local food pantries prior to Christmas.
If you are interested in donating to these programs, you can drop off non-perishable items during Weller Group's normal business hours which can be viewed here. There is a collection bin located in our front entrance in the main foyer with a sign.
As a reminder, Weller Group also matches the donation of items that we collect each month, so double the items are delivered to the local food pantries!
