We are in our 3rd year of the Christmas in Rochester event, and we're once again having it at Rick's Prime Rib, 898 Buffalo Rd, Rochester, NY 14624.
We have been blessed with an enormous response from our Penfield Community by way of volunteering and also food preparation/donation and we're hopeful that this year will be no different. Our goal this year is to be able to serve EVERY family that walks through our doors rather than have a set limit, but that requires a community effort.
To date we have provided a wonderful Christmas Day meal to close to 300 hundred families in two years, and we have also provided close to 750 gifts to the children of those families. The gifts are donated by the Pirate Toy Fund of Rochester, NY.
Just a quick summary of the event.
Date: December 25th, Christmas Day
Time: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. - approximately
Location: Rick's Prime Rib
Benefiting: Rochester Families that are making an impact in their community but don't always have the means to provide for their own

Using the attached link, you will find a spreadsheet with two tabs. One tab is for Christmas Day Volunteers, and the other is for Food Preparation/Donation. Please feel free to sign up for both, or one, or the other.....whatever you think that you can do. We encourage full family participation as this is a great experience for all involved.
Each tab has specific instructions, so please follow carefully so that we can get an accurate count of both volunteers, and food.
We appreciate your consideration and your blessings as we work to make this Christmas Day, 2012, a special moment for so many in our city.
God Bless,
John Webster
