"Letter from the President"
(September 2025)

Dear Friends,
It is September and kids are back in school and my Bills pulled off a fabulous win! Go Bills! 😊

With school back in session, this means we will be back to our Weekend Backpack Program. Many children and families rely on this “extra” food to help provide assistance when the kids are home on the weekends. We all know that children need food to thrive like their peers. Healthy food provides them the energy they need to remain focused on school work and other activities.

For many years we have utilized USDA product for a portion of the food we provide. As you know, we have discussed how the USDA product has become almost non-existent. We can only receive USDA products from foodbanks like Foodlink. Items we include in our backpack program are: cereal, oatmeal, bagels, canned pasta meals, condensed soups, peanut butter and jelly (with bread) tuna fish (with bread and mayo packets) ramen noodles, fruit cups, fresh fruit, milk, juice boxes, crunchy granola bars, chewy granola bars, peanut butter crackers, pretzels, popcorn, and breakfast or protein bars.

I know it’s only September, but we are already beginning to prepare for the holiday season. In fact, the sign-ups will begin Saturday October 4th.

ICC will once again be participating in the Annual Wegmans East Ave Grocery Run. The event is November 1, 2025. We had so much fun last year, and I know you will too. Not only is this good exercise but you can spend some quality time with friends, neighbors, coworkers, family… The great thing for us is that ALL of the entry fees come back to ICC. I will be sending the link and more information out soon.
