Food and Toy Distribution for Christmas

Community groups and families consider partnering with Rochester Family Mission to put together and distribute Christmas baskets and toys for families in need. Christmas isn’t about the gifts, but it is a great opportunity to encourage others by helping them with resources to celebrate Christ’s birth.
Here are ways you can help:
  • Purchase new toys and drop them off to YFC (1 Favor St.) Now through Thursday December 12th. Contact ahead to arrange delivery.
  • Help sort gifts.
    • Monday 12/16 @ 1st Shift: 9am-noon; 2nd Shift: noon-3pm
    • Tuesday 12/17 @ 1st Shift: 9am-noon; 2nd Shift: noon-3pm
    • Wednesday 12/18 @ 1st Shift: 9am-noon; 2nd Shift: noon-3pm
    • Thursday 12/19 @ 9am-noon
  • Help deliver setup for the toys distribution Sunday, 12/22 from 1-5pm at 1 Favor St. (YFC)
  • Help setup for the Christmas basket packing project.
    • Thursday 12/19 @ 6-9pm (transporting food from RFM & Foodlink to YFC)
    • Friday 12/20 @ 1st Shift: 1-4pm; 2nd Shift: 5-7pm (set-up) 
  • Help pack the food for the Christmas baskets Saturday 12/21 from 9am-2pm.

    • Monday 12/23 @ 1st Shift: 8:30am-10:30am; 2nd Shift: 10:15am-12:15pm; 3rd Shift: noon-2pm
