Make and deliver bird houses and bird seed to the senior center and our foster grandparents. “We will build and decorate some bird houses with bird seed to donate to the seniors at the senior center and in senior housing . The isolation from the pandemic has had an effect on the senior population and this is a way to give some cheer to the seniors as spring arrives with a visual reminder of fresh starts and hope.”

Schodack FRC

SFRC Community action plan will be cleaning up around the center, and putting together flowers and flower pots for the Senior housing, library, and firehouse in town.

Hoosick Falls FRC

“The staff members of HFFC agreed that a great way to improve the community would be to add beauty to the center. We would love to plant some flowers out front to make the appearance more appealing. Also, we would love to start a vegetable garden. Our plan is to maintain the garden all summer and share the vegetables in the fall. The garden will be a ongoing team project and something our staff is willing to take on.”
