Month: November 2014

Students in Martin Scoville’s Advanced Drawing and Painting classes at Sandy Creek High School took a recent field trip to Old Forge where they drew inspiration from nature. Prior to the field trip, the students studied the water colors of Winslow Homer, who worked in the Adirondack Mountains during a period of his life and painted many works during that time.

Of all the human services programs that United Way supports the ones with the most visible impact are those that address one of Oswego County’s most pressing needs…hunger. The need for food subsidy remains high as food pantries and nutrition services struggle to meet the demand.

It may surprise many people to learn that 25 percent of those who die every year in the United States are veterans. To help provide care and support that reflects the important contributions made by these men and women, Oswego County Hospice is a national partner of the We Honor Veterans program, and is a level 2 of the four level tiers.
