WATERTOWN — There’s a COVID-19 “vaccine supercharge” coming to New York state, which will see the federal government get directly involved with distributing doses and funding vaccination sites.
WATERTOWN â A diverse group of organizations, 61 to be exact, have joined to participate in the 2021 #giveNNY campaign, a local effort that unites tri-county nonprofits in a day of giving on â315Dayâ â March 15.
From human services and health and wellness to arts, culture and conservation, this yearâs participating nonprofits represent a wide range of missions that collectively strengthen the region, according to a release from the Northern New York Community Foundation.
The campaign, returning for its fourth year, kicks off Feb. 15, and culminates with a day of radio broadcasts on Tunes 92.5 FM on March 15, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Several events to drive awareness and support for the effort are planned during the weeks leading up to â315Day.â All campaign activities will be conducted with health and safety in mind as the region continues to confront the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
At a time when many people have become frustrated with how efforts to control the spread of the novel coronavirus are proceeding, Jefferson County offered some hope last week.
