Malone, NY – It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the closure of our Malone office, effective September 30th, 2024. Despite our unwavering commitment to serving the needs of the community, we are no longer able to sustain the additional expenses required to keep this office open due to a lack of funding.
We are fully aware of the profound need for our services in Malone and the surrounding area. Our team has witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by community members, and it pains us deeply to make this decision, knowing the support we provide has made a difference. Unfortunately, the financial realities leave us no other option but to close this location.
Our dedicated staff were aware of the financial challenges we were facing, we worked closely with them throughout this transition. Some of our staff members have chosen to retire, while a couple have accepted placements at the Department of Social Services (DSS), where they will continue to serve the community. This ensures that their experience and commitment to the Malone community will not be lost, and they will still be available to support local residents in need.
We remain dedicated to supporting the underprivileged in Franklin County and will continue to do our utmost to provide services to those in need, even if it means adapting and finding new ways to reach out. We hope to revisit the possibility of reopening our Malone office in the future if circumstances change.
We are grateful to our clients, community partners, and supporters who have stood by us and helped us serve the Malone community. Your ongoing support means the world to us, and together, we will continue to strive towards making a positive impact.
