Holiday Programs This time of year is a busy one for the Catholic Charities family! Many of our program sites hold holiday programs including Thanksgiving & Christmas Food Baskets and Christmas Stores. We've researched and put together an Amazon Wish List for some of the most popular toys for children of all ages. We are also sharing this list with any donors who call the main office wanting to contribute by buying a toy for a child. You are welcome to share the list!

Trunk or Treat Pictures Lots of fun to be had at the St. Peter's Health Partners Trunk or Treat event at Samaritan Hospital in Troy on October 28th. It was the 2nd Annual event and was widely attended. Special thanks to Robin Ryan of Roarke Center, Beth Connolly of Sunnyside Center for decorating the Tri‐County Trunk and Justine Carroll for volunteering to man the table. And a big thank you to all the staff and Board Members who donated candy. We look forward to doing it again next year!
