The Arc of Oswego County, a Fulton-based non-profit organization that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), has received a generous $1,000 donation from Michelle Petrie in memory of her mother, Tammi Kay Grace, who sadly passed on in September.
The donation was made to the agency’s Seniors program, which aims to preserve skills in aging adults with IDD.
“My mother cared deeply about the community,” said Petrie. “This donation helps ensure her spirit of generosity lives on.”
The donation will be used to purchase holiday gifts for the individuals in the agency’s Seniors Program, where Petrie is a Direct Support Professional (DSP).
Services that The Arc of Oswego County provides for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities include day habilitation programs for seniors, community habilitation for adults, recreational and respite activities for people of all ages, and guardianship and planning assistance for families.
