2025 SBC Cares Thanksgiving Appeal

Friday, November 21st, 2025

 

 We hope you can join us once again in making a difference this holiday season. 

Each year, we join the Small Business Council, a Greater Rochester Chamber affiliate, in providing Thanksgiving food boxes to needy families.  This event takes place before Thanksgiving as participating companies drop off food boxes and dozens of volunteers come together to deliver them to local, not for profit organizations who serve these families. Over the past 20 years SBC has donated over $1,250,000 in food supplies and their goal is to meet the needs of 4,000 local families.

Bring a little or bring a lot! 

We welcome small donations of just a few items or a complete box including the $25 gift card to purchase a turkey or ham. If you are interested in participating, please sign up using the form below

 and download the shopping checklist for needed items.
