News from the Noteworthy from Opportunities for Otsego

It's a Good Time To Ask, 'How Can I Help?'

As many of you know, we are in the midst of a government shutdown. Regardless of your political affiliation, the impact is felt far and wide, particularly by local nonprofits. Many of these organizations are heavily funded by federal and state sources to do the work that they do in order to deliver essential services throughout our community. While each will uniquely grapple with the impact of the government shutdown, there is one commonality; each one of them can use your help.

Each of us have causes that tug at our hearts, or principles we support, or organizations that have helped us in our time of need. Whether it is Opportunities for Otsego, veterans’ organizations, end-of-life care, your local school, family services, Greek life, animals, the arts, children’s organizations, your church or anything else that you are passionate about, I implore you to consider reaching out to these local organizations and asking how you can help continue their mission.
