AmeriCorps Donates Blankets To County Health Department

OSWEGO, NY – In recognition of AmeriCorps Week, AmeriCorps members recently donated their time and materials to make a dozen fleece blankets for newborn babies in Oswego County.

Families with infants in need are referred to the county health department’s Maternal Child Health Program which provides home visits from public health nurses between doctor appointments.
