Dear friends and neighbors,

 

     Deposit is a small, rural community rich in history and filled with wonderful people. For many it’s a peaceful place to call home.  For others, it has limitations due to the lack of public transportation.  This makes it difficult for our elderly or poorer residents to easily access services outside the community.

           

     The Deposit Foundation has one mission: to connect residents of Deposit, NY to health and human services. Since its founding in 1978, this nonprofit has developed six programs - Transportation, Senior Companion, Assistance and Referral, Friendship Table, Friendship Programs and Toys for Tots.  Each are designed to address the needs of Deposit residents.  These services include free transporta-tion to vital appointments, and local programs that focus on personal health and wellbeing.  We are here to enrich the lives of those in need. 

 

     While most of our clients are seniors, we serve a variety of ages and income ranges.  All need our help in some way. Among the clients we transported to medical appointments in the last month, an elderly widow went to see her surgeon over an hour away, and a single mother to her chemo therapy appointments. We have connected individuals and families to services such as SNAP, HEAP, and HUD, helping them with applications and faxing in necessary papers, thus ensuring they get help as soon as possible.

 

     Many within our community depend on our programs and services to survive.  As a small nonprofit, we depend on people like you to help us assist our friends and neighbors in need.  We need your support. Donations of any amount will go a long way. For example: a $21.00 donation can pay for a round trip to Binghamton. Your donation will help take care of individuals and families, whether it’s getting food, transportation, emergency assistance, or access to programs.

 

     Thank you to those of you who donated last year.  As grateful as we are for every dollar we brought in last year, it was not enough to fully cover the need.  We only received 63 percent of our Support and Sustain goal of $6,500.  Though we receive grant funds from organizations such as United Way, money is still limited.

​

     Together we can better the lives within our community!

​

     In advance, thank you for your support.

​

Sincerely,

Susan Moranda                                                                                                                            Judy Lloyd
