Receipts for the 2010 campaign totaled $50,400.

Northeast Organic Farming Association of NY, Inc.
NOFA-NY is a statewide organization of consumers, gardeners, and farmers working together to create a sustainable regional food system that is ecologically sound and economically viable. NOFA-NY brings consumers and farmers closer together to make high-quality food available to all people using a Consumer Supported Agriculture (CSA) model.

Our gift from the Greater Good supported the implementation of a comprehensive sustainable plan for low-income communities of Rochester to achieve greater access to organic produce. The program served about 60 families at the end of year one, with new families being added as the program continues to be implemented.

St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center
The Center provides comprehensive health care, counseling, adult education and social work to individuals and families who lack access to health insurance. Patients and clients are mostly working poor who fall between eligibility for public insurance products and affordability of private insurance through their employers.

Our gift from the Greater Good allowed better service to patients including: multi-lingual resources that teach ways to manage disease on limited income, nursing staff for the Health Empowerment Program, teaching of exercise regimens and healthy cooking classes, and patient-to-patient advocacy training.
