The Chest is contacted over 1000 times a year for assistance.

Since January 2022, we helped 230 people with information and referrals to best serve their needs. 

Forty-six families which needed immediate help received financial, food, or other aid from the Chest.

no other town in monroe county has a community chest

After World War II, many towns converted their "War Chest" to a "Community Chest" as Webster did in 1948.  All others failed, leaving the Webster Community Chest the only one around.  Through the Chest, Webster's citizens are able to provide services that no other town enjoys.


An example is "Meals on Wheels."  In every other town, a needy senior citizen or elderly couple who qualifies for a meal delivery service and daily wellness check applies and then has to wait--usually several months--for Federal government approval.  NOT IN WEBSTER!  Here thanks to our donors our seniors apply and start IMMEDIATELY because the Chest picks up the cost until they are approved.

OTHER WAYS TO help Us help others

volunteer -- donate time and talents

Donating can take on many forms. Most people think of donations as monetary. However, donating your talents is a great way to help those in need.   Helping us at our new "Meals Center" gives you first-hand experience in feeding the hungry in Webster.  We have several fund-raising events throughout the year with which we always need help--such as our Spaghetti Dinner (November 4th) and the Peep Show (see below).  Consider becoming a Board Member or volunteer to work on special projects!
