Write a commentOswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, is grateful to announce it has received $2,500 in funding from Romano Auto Dealers as part of their annual Holiday Hope Project.
“We are so grateful for the support of Romano Auto,” said Laurie Davis, executive director of Oswego Industries. “This donation will help adults with disabilities in our local community to become as independent as they can be.”
Oswego Industries will use the funding to strengthen the agency’s program offerings, which include Community Habilitation and Day Habilitation. “Many of our programs rely on the community as a classroom,” said Alissa Viscome, associate executive director of program at Oswego Industries. “This funding will enable more people we support to participate in outings where they can work on personal goals, like managing a budget and forming friendships.”
