January 24, 2018 By admin

School-Based Programs Also to Receive Support

The Northern New York Community Foundation will invest $37,000 in local food pantries and soup kitchens in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties this coming year.

These grants are made possible, in part, through the Emma Phoebe Hurd Fund at the Foundation, and supporters of the “Friends of the Foundation Community Betterment Fund.”

“Community Foundation donors are helping make a difference all across the North Country. This is a grant that a difference in communities large and small.

“Giving back is so important because it creates a culture that, the more we give, the better it is for everyone — those giving, and those receiving. That’s very, very important. We can always do more and we have to remember that.” — Donald Whitney, Adams Center

Don Whitney came from a family of givers. He believed that helping your community in any fashion is part of gratifying life. We are grateful for having known him and even more grateful that Don joined us in 2017 to participate in the Northern New York Community Podcast. His passing last weekend deeply saddens us. The fact that his story — in his own voice — is forever documented is a wonderful part of his permanent legacy that will inspire generations to come.

Learn more about what called Don to a life of service to his community and others in this 2017 episode from the second season of the Northern New York Community Podcast.
