Sponsors include Wegmans, various community groups and countless community members who have donated baskets.

“Every basket and every gift certificate represents individuals, churches, businesses, and organizations who have generously donated to help raise money for the soup kitchen,” said Cherie Rowland, executive director of St. Susan Center. “Our hope is that the community will support the businesses who have donated to St. Susan Center, just as our wonderful community has supported our mission all year long.”
