Friends Helping Friends and several other area hunger-fighting organizations are seeking donations of nonperishable groceries during November and December to help meet the increased demand for food distribution in the area. Friends Helping Friends at 333 Child St., Rochester, will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week by appointment to accept donations of canned goods.
The organization is partnering with area clown Miss Sweet Potato Pie, who will provide a free balloon animal for each food donation. For an appointment, call 585-413-3019 or e-mail fhf2004@hotmail.com.
