Picnic Anyone?

Ogdensburg - Residents at the United Helpers Lisbon Intermediate Care Facility were recently able to purchase a new picnic table, thanks to a generous gift made to the Society of the United Helpers Wish Book program. 

The Society’s “Wish Books” give loved ones, family members and friends of the United Helpers organization the opportunity to help grant a facility wish. Books consist of a list of items compiled by the Administrator, staff and residents.  Donors simply browse the book and choose which item they would like to sponsor. The Wish Book program is available to view online and at most of the United Helpers facilities. For more information on the “Wish Book” program, please contact the Society of the United Helpers Development Office at 393-3074 extension 230.
