December 17 – A new group of gifts!
Peru, NY December 18, 2024 – North Country goodwill has been visible the last several days at St. Augustine’s Parish Center. JCEO Community Outreach personnel have been preparing Clinton County Christmas Bureau Christmas gifts for delivery to JCEO Outreach Centers throughout Clinton County. JCEO Director of Community Outreach Lisa Goodrow said 550 households applied this year. Sometimes, a household can mean up to ten or more people. JCEO consolidates and delivers the gifts for the Christmas Bureau. The bags in the picture accompanying this story are only a tiny portion of the bags delivered.
Goodrow mentioned that many individuals, groups, and businesses assist the Christmas Bureau. Groups like the “Wild Women” sorted and packed the bags. Yesterday, retailer Aarons’ Electronics in Plattsburgh brought four truckloads to Peru free of charge. St. Augustine’s Parish Center has been a great place to consolidate the truckloads of gifts.
Goodrow said JCEO is working to get all the gifts to Outreach Centers yesterday and to have them to applicants by Friday.
