Write a commentOswego Industries, Inc. and the Arc of Oswego County recently conducted a food and personal hygiene drive to support local seniors, with distribution coordinated by the Oswego County Office of the Aging and NY Connects.
Over a five-week period, employees of Oswego Industries, Inc., and the Arc of Oswego County generously contributed over 540 pounds of non-perishable food and personal hygiene items to NY Connects.
Oswego Industries, Inc. added 17 turkeys to the donation, which will be made into baskets and delivered by Oswego County Office of the Aging and NY Connects with help from Oswego Industries staff and individuals enrolled in our comm hab program to area seniors in need. Adding the turkey brings the total weight donated to over 780 lbs. of food and personal hygiene that will be distributed in the coming weeks.
Elizabeth Weimer, a senior aging services specialist with Oswego County Office of the Aging and NY Connects, said, “These items are going to be distributed to the lowest-income seniors in rural areas. There are approximately 150 seniors that will benefit from this donation."
