 This year, the Greater Rochester Communities of Churches, along with SEIU 1199 will be publishing a new version of Rochester’s Religious Community Directory. This directory has been of invaluable assistance to organizations and individuals in our community.
The book has not been updated since 2005, and we now would like to ask for a few volunteers who would be willing to work doing some data entry, phone calls, and perhaps a little graphic design for our cover. We are expecting to start the project toward the end of May and are lining up volunteers now.
If you are interested in volunteering, please call Marie Gibson @ (585) 254-2570, or Email grcc1@frontiernet.net. Students are encouraged to apply.

Volunteers of America is conducting a community-wide clothing drive from March 4-10 as part of its 111th anniversary celebration of the agency's founding. In honor of Volunteers of America's years of service to the Greater Rochester community, the agency is hoping to engage at least 111 organizations locally to hold clothing donation drives to benefit VOA. Churches, schools, colleges, clubs, businesses, and other civic groups are invited to participate.
Donated clothing helps to support VOA's programs in the Greater Rochester Area. A majority of the clothing is sold in Volunteers of America's stores. The revenue generated through the sale of items helps fund the agency's programs including housing for the homeless, care and educational programs for at-risk children, drug & alcohol recovery services, homelessness prevention services, and an emergency food pantry. A portion of donated clothing is set aside to be given to people in need.
Organizations that would like to participate can contact Melinda Doyle, VOA Community Relations Manager, at 402-7218.
Area residents are also invited to support Volunteers of America by donating clothing and other gently used household items (including furniture, cookware, books, toys, and appliances) to VOA. Individuals can drop off items at any of VOA's 10 stores or at its Donation Express on Monroe Avenue in Brighton. Individuals can also schedule a free truck pick-up at their home by calling 647-1150 or going to www.voawny.
Volunteers of America's ministry of service helps 10,000 individuals in Monroe and surrounding counties each year through services that include homelessness prevention programs, child-care for low-income families, emergency food, housing for the homeless, and re-entry programs for ex-offenders. Our work touches the mind, body, heart-and ultimately the spirit-of those we serve, integrating our deep compassion with highly effective programs and services.
