Holiday Events

Friends for Food: Local citizens continue to volunteer and extend their generosity to our children and families during the holiday season. They unceasingly aid families throughout the holidays with incredible generosity that brings warmth and gratitude to the hearts of many; 1400 households received a turkey and holiday food for Thanksgiving.

Spirit of Giving: During the holiday season, Community Services of Venango County, Inc., in conjunction with the Cranberry Mall, operates the annual Spirit of Giving campaign. Dedicated volunteers monitor the Giving Tree, offer shopping bags for Mall customers, and wrap their purchased Christmas gifts. All of the funds donated to the Sprit of Giving campaign benefit more than 800 local children in need through Community Services.

Adopt-A-Family: Each year, a number of local businesses, churches, families and civic organizations "adopt" a family and buy Christmas gifts for all of the members of that immediate family. These local groups are referred to as "sponsors." The Adopt-A Family Program is anonymous. The sponsors will know only the first names and ages of family members and the family will not be told who their sponsor is. The sponsor will receive a wish list from their adopted family and the presents are to be delivered to either the Rocky Grove or Oil City Community Services agency. The family will then be notified and arrangements made for them to pick up their Christmas gifts.

Other Special Events include our Annual Golf Outing and Postal Workers' Food Drive >
