FULTON – The Arc of Oswego County, a non-profit organization based in Fulton, New York, that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, has launched its annual membership campaign.
The organization is part of state and national advocacy efforts to prioritize people with I/DD in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Additionally, the organization has been pivotal in collecting data that demonstrates the increased risk people with I/DD have of complications from COVID-19.
“Not only do our members help us finance our many important services at the local level, they also provide clout when we are talking to state and federal politicians about issues affecting our community,” said Rebekkah Frisch, Marketing & Communications Associate. “Membership helps us be more effective advocates for people who have disabilities in Oswego County.”
