Catholic Charities received an Emergency Disaster Grant from CCUSA to support Oswego County’s efforts to help community members with expenses related to the recent snowstorm. They can assist with snow removal costs, damages costs…anything related to the storm. This specific to those unable to handle this on their own – please have people contact the main office at 315-598-3980 and speak to someone in the community service department.
