Together, we CAN support local nursing students!
International Nurses Day Bottle and Can Drive
Saturday, May 6, 2022

For the third year in a row, Family First is hosting a Can & Bottle Drive to provide scholarship opportunities to local nursing students. All proceeds will benefit the Daniel E. Richardson Memorial Fund of the Greece Charitable Chamber Foundation. 

Beginning April 17th, we invite all community members to drop off donations of empty (and clean) bottles and cans at any of our five Family First branches during regular business hours. Just leave your donations in the collection boxes conveniently located in our lobbies! 

Or, bring your cans and bottles to your local Can King Redemption Center and donate them to the Family First Nursing Fundraiser!  Locations in Webster, Fairport, and Palmyra.

On the final day of the drive, Saturday, May 6th, from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, additional volunteers will be present at our Penfield branch to assist with large donations, before transporting them to a local redemption center.
