This year, we are not requesting a chicken or fresh produce as this will be provided by a third party.
  
Baskets would need to be dropped off at the Brighton Food Cupboard. The address is 2131 Elmwood Ave., Door A, Rochester, NY 14618. There will be a cart outside Door A and a sign-off sheet. A staff member will be available for questions or comments. We will be checking the cart often to bring items into the building so there is no need to alert us when dropping off. For further questions or concerns, please reach out to Jacquie Platt at (585) 271-5355.
  
Thanksgiving Basket Drop off: Nov. 11-14 from 9 a.m. to noon as well as Nov. 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. 
 
December Holiday Basket Drop off: Dec. 9-12 from 9 a.m. to noon or on Dec. 11 from 4 to 6 p.m.
  
The deadline to sign up is Nov. 8. If you cannot drop off the basket during the dates and/or hours listed, please contact (585) 271-5355 to schedule another drop-off time. If you have any other questions, please contact Jacquie Platt at (585) 271-5355 or jplatt@jfsrochester.org.
