Apprentice Fund Raising Efforts

Apprentices ready to deliver to the CNY Food Bank

The First and Second Year Apprentice Classes have been busy helping the needy this season through their fund raising efforts. They organized and implemented a bottle & can drive to raise money, a canned food drive, and collected   donations from various donors.  They donated food and money to the Food Bank of CNY in which they surpassed last year’s total! The apprentices also purchased toys for children that are unfortunately hospitalized during the holiday season and donated hats, gloves, mittens and other necessary items to area school children.

The result of those efforts are:

• $5,000.00 total donations from the Can Drive
• $2,350.00 in toy distributions to four area hospitals
• 2,250 pounds of food delivered to the Food Bank of Central New York
• $500.00 in hats, mittens, scarves, boots and coats to various schools

The apprentices are proud of their communities, and when asked why they decided to shoulder these projects, the reply was, “Because someone has to.”
