Editor’s Note This story recently ran as a spotlight in NCTW

Together, Northwest Tech, Southwest Tech and Seaway Tech put together care packages for the staff at United Helpers Rehabilitation and Senior Care, formerly RiverLedge in Ogdensburg to help with the crisis they are facing.

Culinary students prepared muffins and energy balls for individual packages as well as plates of holiday cookies.

Students and staff created and also signed cards of support, and love for staff and residents. They also packed snacks and quick meals for distribution.

Pepsi of Ogdensburg donated cases of Gatorade and water to the BOCES care package program.

“We are all thinking of you and thank you for all you are doing for your residents” said the staff and students at BOCES.

United Helpers recently sent out a message to the community that they are in need of the public’s assistance with meals, food and snacks for staff and their families as staff are often working double or triple shifts.
