It was a great morning spent at the Town of Wallkill Town of Wallkill with the Orange County Chamber of Commerce Orange County Chamber of Commerce!

Today’s Bagels & Briefings with Town of Wallkill Town Supervisor Frank DenDanto III was very informative and provided great insight on the current economic state of the town, as well as their plans for development. Our long-standing partnership with the town to provide Friendly Visitor Program services is extremely valued, and we could not be more appreciative of their support!

Last Friday, a Middletown community member, Daryl Goldberg, came to visit Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator Paula Blumenau at our table at the Garnet Health It Takes a Village event and said

“JFS, I see you all over. You do such important work. I had surgery recently and I called your office for help with rides. I was so impressed with your process. A coordinator came to my house and sat with to make sure I had anything I needed. It was so easy. I love the idea of neighbors helping neighbors!”

Moments and feedback like this are the heart of why we do what we do! Thank you, Daryl, for sharing your experience and kind words with us.
