This Sunday the kids will be selling sunflowers to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Proceeds from the sale will go toward purchasing much needed medical supplies off the Roc Maidan wishlist.* The recommended donation is $5 per flower. Thanks to Hopper Hills Floral & Gifts for the donation of the sunflowers. ❤️🌻❤️🌻❤️🌻

WBUCC will be collecting diapers for our “Make A Mother’s Day” Diaper Drive in honor of mother’s day. We’ll accept disposable and cloth diapers, pull-ups, as well as wipes. We take all sizes in new or opened packages. We’re especially looking for newborn and sizes 4 & 5. (Some people may have leftover diapers their children have outgrown–we take those too as long as they are in new condition.) ROC City Bottoms is a nonprofit community group in Rochester, NY. They work with local organizations (such as Cameron Ministries) & other community agencies to provide diapers for little bottoms in need.
