In just three hours on Saturday April 2nd, the Little Italy Neighborhood, located in the city's NW Quadrant, collected nearly $12,000 worth of food, toys, diapers, clothes, personal hygiene products and other needed items at its "Food & Toys for Ukraine" event held at Marina Auto Soccer Stadium. The goods and items will be donated to a community partner nonprofit agency handling Ukrainian relief efforts and aide for needy families and refugees.

The Little Italy Association of Rochester, Inc., is a NY State non-profit corporation and registered public charity, which has the specific consent of the NY State Attorney General, to commemorate and help manage a Little Italy Historic District in the City of Rochester's Lyell Avenue gateway corridor.
