CFA welcomes basic non-perishable food items such as juice, cereal, canned goods, pasta, baby food, etc. Food items should not be open, expired or in glass jars.

Dozens of roses will be given away on a first come first served basis. No purchase is necessary. Bill O'Shea reminds us, "The only stipulation is that those picking up the roses are asked to keep one for themselves and to give the other 11 roses away to 11 different people and in so doing, help create a friendlier, more caring and compassionate community. Good Neighbor Day is a day designated for people to meet and get to know their neighbors. A rose is the perfect expression of friendship and love." This day will be celebrated throughout the United States
and Canada as a day of good will. Good Neighbor Day is an international event is organized
by FTD, and sponsored locally by Bill O'Shea's Florist, in association with Jukebox Radio
