Christmas Program assists record number of residents
The 37th annual Macedon Community Christmas Program assisted 140 families in 2020.
Every family received boxes with canned goods and other nonperishable items, a produce box, a frozen chicken and gift cards. Food boxes contained ingredients for a holiday meal and more.
Children and seniors received gift cards, and families received gift cards for items like milk, eggs and toiletry items. In all, 451 individuals received assistance. This included 67 seniors and 171 children and teens in Macedon and Walworth.
The program committee decided that it would be safer for volunteers, donors and families if the program consisted of food and gift cards with a drive-thru pickup. Volunteers helped carry food out the morning of the program while others made deliveries. Officer Husk from the Macedon Police Department was on-hand to make sure traffic ran smoothly.
