Committee Helps New Folks Feel at Home

By ARYA PATEL
COOPERSTOWN

Welcome Home Cooperstown was established in early 2023 and first met last year in May. Since then, this group has involved new and old community members in monthly gatherings to meet, build relationships, and form new friendships.

Welcome Home Cooperstown is a non-profit entity solely run by volunteers within the community who would like to see a more welcoming place for individuals to come to. The goal is to welcome area newcomers and assist them in building connections to established residents and institutions, and encourage them to make our community their permanent home.
