SVHC Winter Challenge Happening Now Through January 1st!
Free VITA Tax Prep Coming This Month!
Curb Alert!
SVFR Pop-up Distribution
Thanks to a large food donation from SUNY Cortland, SVFR held a curb-side distribution in December. 1,076 pounds of food, primarily fresh produce and dairy, was given to families in need, providing nutritious foods right before the holidays (and preventing edible food from going into the landfill).
Save the Date! Kiss the Calf
SVHC Fundraising Campaign
At SVHC, we don't charge anything for our programs. This means that everything we do - from doula support to food rescue to nutrition boxes to transportation - is funded either by grants or private donors. All donations - large or small - help ensure that we are able to provide our services free of charge for all members of Cortland County.
With that in mind, we are teaming up with Fouts Farm for the first ever Kiss the Calf campaign!
How it works: if the campaign meets our goal of raising $5,000 or more, six prominent community "Calf Kissers" will kiss a Fouts Farm calf LIVE on SVHC's social media accounts. See flyer below for more details.
Upcoming Events
Winter Challenge: January 1st-31st. Prize winners will be drawn after the challenge concludes.
Kiss the Calf Campaign:
Giving Period now through February 14th
