Oswego Industries, Inc. recently received a donation of a three-door, refrigerated soda display unit from Tom Rookey of Sackets Harbor. The display unit is being used in the nonprofit’s “Fun Rock Cafe,” which is both a cafeteria for staff and program participants and a job training program for adults with disabilities.
“This is fantastic,” said the Cafe’s manager, Bob Spinelli. “One of our other units was nearly 40 years old, and had already been repaired twice. It was only a matter of time before that one broke, and there’s no way we could have afforded to replace it.”
Oswego Industries, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit Community Rehabilitation Program which has been providing programs and services to adults with disabilities since 1968.
