The Community Wishbook

Using the Wishbook Web Site


To search a specific area of the web site, click on one of the boxes at the top of the Home Page:
  – If you have an item to donate, Items Needed has "Wish List" items requested by the agencies.
  – For a complete list of volunteer opportunities, click on Volunteers Needed.
  – For information on a specific agency, click on List of Agencies.

To search the entire web site, type a search word or words in the search box on the Home Page, and click on the "Search" button. Your search word(s) may describe an item you have to donate, a volunteer skill, an agency name, or a special event.

  1. In any of the above search results, clicking on an agency's name will take you directly to the detailed web page for that agency. You can use your browser's "Back" button (usually at the left end of the Menu bar at the top of the page) to return to the last screen you viewed.
    (From each agency page, you also have the option of going directly to the Wishbook Home Page, Items Needed index, Volunteers Needed index, or List of Agencies)

  2. The detailed page for each agency includes the agency's name, address, and a brief description of the agency; plus the phone number and a contact person at the agency. (Some agencies also list their fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and web site addresses.)

    All of the agency's WISH LIST items are listed on their page, as well as a list of VOLUNTEERS NEEDED by the agency.
    Please call the contact person at the organization to make arrangements for delivery or pickup of a listed item, or to get details on volunteering.

  3. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent the law allows. When you make your donation, please include your name and address, and note that the match was made through the Wishbook.

From the Wishbook Home Page, you can also click to see a list of Special Events. For information on the agency that sponsors each special event, click on the agency's name in the events listing.

Also available from the Home Page is the What's New? section, which lists all of the latest updates to the web site.

Please.... if you have something to donate, and have any problems using the information on this web site to locate an agency, contact us by sending an e-mail message to wishbook@rochester.rr.com, or by calling Wishbook coordinator Nona Maurer at (585) 225-4226.

Your donation can make wishes come true. Thank You!
