FULTON – Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) recognized United Way of Greater Oswego County with the agency’s Donor of the Year award. Presented at OCO’s Annual Meeting, United Way of Greater Oswego County was recognized for its remarkable commitment and generosity that has helped OCO provide life-saving services to thousands of people in need.
“United Way truly invests in the well-being of our community,” said OCO Development Coordinator Bridget Dolbear. “It embodies the spirit of giving back. Over the years United Way’s annual Day of Caring has transformed numerous properties in our residential programs. This past year United Way Executive Director Patrick Dewine and his staff orchestrated a massive undertaking. By collaborating with city officials and local business owners, and recruiting a number of volunteers, OCO’s homeless shelter received a compete makeover; from landscaping and sprucing up the outside of house to providing linens and clothing for the residents. United Way also led a collaboration with Constellation Clean Energy Center’s Mentor Program to build food cupboards that will be placed throughout the community to provide access to food for those in need.
We are incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with United Way and it is with much pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that we recognize United Way of Greater Oswego County with our donor of the year award.”
“We are the ones that are fortunate to have a relationship with OCO,” said Dewine. “The vital services that OCO provides to our most vulnerable populations are crucial, and we are happy to support those efforts whenever we can. We appreciate what OCO does for the community and this is a true honor to receive this award.”
