The Community Wishbook is a guide to the needs of more than 180 charitable organizations in Rochester
and the surrounding area. It includes each charitys contact information, purpose, wish list and volunteer needs.
Individuals, groups, or businesses can use the Wishbook to find charities that need their donated items or
volunteer help. For updates throughout the year, see the Wishbook website at www.communitywishbook.org.
A special thanks to our sponsors, Ronald McDonald House Charities and Messenger Post Media

If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart;
and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full,
and you can give things out of that warm things, kind things, sweet things
help and comfort and laughter and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, Author of A Little Princess
