ALLEGANY â Over the past week, the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany at St. Elizabeth Motherhouse have watched as gifts for babies and young children have trickled into the lobby at the East Main Street facility.
On Friday, a huge load of diapers, wipes, soft blankets, clothing, pajamas, winter outerwear, books, educational toys and stuffed animals for infants and children were picked up by area agencies in Cattaraugus, Allegany and Wyoming counties. The gifts will be provided to children of needy families by the agencies, said Sister Mary Lou Lafferty, local minister for the Motherhouse.
âI think itâs wonderful,â Lafferty said while looking over the large donation of gifts this week in the lobby.
