Ever wonder WHO feeds 200+ kids at a time?
The United Way of Genesee County's Backpack Program supplies
bags of weekend meals and snacks to more than 200 students each
week of the school year.
The bags of food provided in this program are packed weekly
with volunteers from the AIM and WOW programs
at The ARC of Genesee Orleans.
This program is made possible by the generosity of the following sources:
-Genesee County Youth Bureau -The Rotary Club of Batavia
-Kiwanis Club of Batavia -United Way Workplace Campaigns
-United Way Fundraisers -Anonymous Donor
-BJs Wholesale Club -Foodlink of Rochester
...and MANY companies throughout Genesee County!
And a HUGE thank you to Chapin Manufacturing who held a food drive during the COVID-19 pandemic and filled our shelves full of food to aid in feeding students while they're home during their school closings.

SPOTLIGHT ON:
Tiffany Perry and
Sharon Kubiniec
These two ladies have been at the forefront of volunteering for the United Way of Genesee County from day one during COVID-19.
Tiffany has been packing the weekend food backpacks for the schools and making masks until her phone reader did not recognize her fingerprint from pushing pins.
Sharon has single-handedly purchased and donated more food, gift cards and supplies for those in need in the county than anyone we've encountered.Weekly she continues to up her donating game.
We cannot thank these two ladies enough for their dedication to our mission and for continuing to prove we are Stronger Together.
For this we recognize
Tiffany Perry and Sharon Kubiniec
as
2020 United Way Community Leaders
