We are very excited to be able to offer gift wrapping every weekend between Black Friday and Christmas from 11am to 5pm, and we couldn't do that without the help of these wonderful student and charity groups from our local community.
Gift wrapping is available for your purchase from our store, and while we are not charging a fee, we encourage you to tip your wrappers generously, as all tips go straight to the organization each day.
New in 2025, we're adding a Holi-YAYs Fundraiser for these groups. Each group will have a donation slip - bring one to the register when you check out, make a donation of $10 or more, and you'll get a discount on your purchase as a thank you from Kenco for your support. You can also round up your change at checkout, and that money will go into a pot that will be shared across our 2025 charity wrapping partners.
Below, find more information on each organization and please consider supporting them year-round.

Founded by Valerie and Bruce Ellsworth in 2020, Nothing But Love Canine Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance with spaying, neutering, and heartworm treatment for rescue dogs in need. It is our core belief that every dog should have access to spay, neuter, and heartworm treatment to ensure healthy dogs can be placed in permanent loving homes. We believe dogs don’t belong in shelters and as we approach this goal it is our hope that there will no longer be a need for “kill” shelters. Donations and purchases can be made via Venmo or Paypal @LoveForCanines

As a senior in high school, founder Kim Kelly rescued a 2-day-old calico kitten found behind a department store. The vet said it wouldn’t survive without its mother. She refused to accept this and read every book she could find on kitten care. “Baby Kitty” lived to be 16 years old and is now the CATS logo kitty. Kim started the 501(c)3 in 2018 after initiating a Girl Scout community service project in 2004 in an effort to help the voiceless, abandoned, and neglected to get the assistance they so deserve. CATS' main goal is to promote good health and end the cycle of street reproduction through TNVR (trap/neuter/vaccinate/return), prioritizing pregnant cats and viable kittens for socializing, fostering and adoption. |

| The freshman class of Kingston High School are a bright young group of students who are learning what it means to be in community with each others as they approach adulthood. Funds raised will support class activities, celebrations, and learning opportunities to help these young scholars grow into the leaders of the future. |
The Kingston High School Tiger Band Boosters are the official fundraising support for the Kingston High School Band. These dedicated parents raise money to offset the costs of competing in marching competitions, maintaining instruments, uniforms, and special events for the talented students of the band programs. Kingston Tiger Band recently performed at the JMA Wireless Dome at Syracuse University in the New York State Field Band Championships, and are heading to Disney in 2026 for workshops and performances.
