POTSDAM – Community support has been at the very essence of everything United Helpers has been about, since the very beginning when it was 10 women from the community who came together to form the organization we now know as United Helpers.

Each and every day since May 4, 1898, when Alzina Milligan picked up a young boy in Potsdam who would become the organization’s first resident, United Helpers has been Always Caring.
