Community Holiday Food Collection

Invitation to Businesses to Participate

Calling the East Rochester Business Community - the East Rochester Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate with the annual Community Holiday Food Collection event! What does your participation look like? It's easy - just host a collection barrel or box (provided by the Chamber) at your business location, put the event Window Sticker (also provided by the Chamber) in your window to alert visitors that you are participating - and then let them leave their donated item in the barrel or box - it's really that easy!
