Community Wishbook
Rochester's Charity Giving Guide
Rochester's Community Wishbook provides a central source for Rochester NY-area charities to list their Items Needed and Volunteer Needs, as well as Special Events that help the agencies raise funds.
New Email Address: wishbook.roc@gmail.com. (Previous email still good throughout 2020.)
Note to All Listed Agencies: The annual review of information begins for all agencies September 9. You should have received an email with details. If you did not receive a copy, please contact us NOW at wishbook.roc@gmail.com.
This review is to help us publish up-to-date information for all charities, and to weed out any agencies that no longer exist. Please be sure to send a return email by October 1 so we can continue to support your listing on the Wisbook website.
The date at the bottom of each agency's Wishbook web page indicates the last time the agency cofirmed or revised their information. The goal is to have all of the dates updated to 9/2020 or later by October 1. Thanks!
