Our funds are running low, and the need for help is rising fast.

I’m writing on behalf of the Community Support Shoppe, a local 501c-3 nonprofit helping Ontario county families with food, clothing, rent, utilities, and other essentials. Every day, more of our neighbors are struggling to keep the lights on and food on the table — and we’re working hard to bridge that gap with both resources and hope.

Thanks to support from local businesses and neighbors like you, we’ve already helped hundreds of families stay warm and fed. But demand keeps climbing, and our funds are nearly exhausted. Without new donations, we may have to cut back services just when families need us most.

Your gift — no matter the size — will make an immediate impact. Every dollar goes directly toward essentials for families right here in our community.

• $50 helps a family with groceries.

• $100 keeps the heat on for a month.

• $250 restocks our pantry for a week.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to our neighbors in need. Together, we can keep Ontario county a place where no family is left behind.
