Oswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, was recently gifted over $800 by Sarah Powell, an individual supported by the agency.
Powell knits and sells beanie hats under the name Sarah’s Hats, and then donates the proceeds of her sales. “I want to get the word out about OI and support the staff and my friends here,” Powell said of her donation. Hats are $10 each and can be ordered by sending a check to Sarah’s Hats at 1110 Utica Street, Fulton NY 13069.
“Sarah is a rock star,” said Rebekkah Frisch, Marketing & Communications Associate at Oswego Industries. “Her support helps us adapt our services and is a great reminder that people with disabilities don’t just receive services—they are valuable members of our community.”
