Syracuse, NY - December 13, 2006 - This holiday season, our Green & Seifter family has again demonstrated heartwarming generosity to help make one family's holiday a bit more joyful. A Catholic Charity family of 6 will receive enough beautifully wrapped gifts for each child to receive 11 each, as well as some shared family gifts. Price Chopper gift cards valued at close to $300, were given to the family as well. A very special thank you goes to Jennifer Dorgan and Rose Durkin who have organized this event for 14 years.

Catholic Charities of Onondaga County is an agency that started as little more than an extension of neighborhood parishes and today is a major provider of services for families and children in Onondaga County. It remains committed to providing for those in need, advocating on behalf of the disadvantaged, and assisting people to reach their fullest potential.

Whether administering care to a youth in a group home, counseling a pregnant adolescent, or introducing a child to a more positive way of life, Catholic Charities of Onondaga County proudly continues the important work begun at the House of Providence.
