Several St. Lawrence County organizations have joined to participate in the 2021 #giveNNY campaign, a local effort that unites tri-county non-profits in a day of giving on “315Day,” Monday, March 15.

From human services to health and wellness, arts and culture, conservation and environment, history, education, children and families, animal welfare, youth development, elder services, and recreation, participating non-profits represent a wide range of missions.

Local organizations include Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Foundation, Ogdensburg; Frederic Remington Art Museum, Ogdensburg; Massena Free Community Meal; Massena Meals on Wheels; New Hope Transformation House Ministries (Grace House), Canton; North Country Children’s Museum, Potsdam; Ogdensburg Boys & Girls Club; Ogdensburg Command Performance; Orchestra of Northern New York, Potsdam; Police Activities League of Massena; Potsdam Holiday Fund; Society of the United Helpers, Ogdensburg; St. Lawrence County Arts Council, Potsdam; St. Lawrence County Historical Association, Canton; and Wanakena Historical Association.

The campaign, returning for its fourth year, kicks off Monday, Feb. 15, and culminates with a day of radio broadcast on Tunes 92.5 FM on Monday, March 15, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Several events to drive awareness and support for the effort are planned during the weeks leading up to “315Day.” All campaign activities will be conducted with health and safety in mind as the region continues to confront the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Follow the campaign on social media at facebook.com/givelocalNNY for activities and opportunities to participate.
