Drop off your donations for the food box pantries to the Cushing Chamber office by Wednesday, Feb. 28; we will fill the food boxes on Feb. 29! There are 3 - 4 food box pantries that need to be filled.

What will you/your organization have to do to participate?  Ask staff, customers, and others to donate to the food boxes; gather food items and hygiene items to be placed in the boxes and either drop off the items to the Cushing Chamber office or join us on Feb. 29 and help us fill the boxes.  


About Leap of Kindness Day, invented by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce in 
Saratoga, New York: 

"Leap of Kindness Day was invented by the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce in 2016. The idea was to inspire our members and community to use their extra day that Leap Year to do something kind for someone else, and hundreds of local organizations helped thousands of local people on February 29, 2016.

In 2020, Leap of Kindness Day was even bigger and better as more than 200 chambers in the US, Canada, and Ireland joined us and organized their own celebrations. In Saratoga, people donated their time, talent, and treasure to help so many people, local charities, and nonprofit organizations, and to thank first responders, teachers, school bus drivers, Veterans, etc.

In 2024, we will once again celebrate Leap of Kindness Day, on Thursday, February 29, 2024, and everyone is invited to join us!"
