What They Are Saying
"We are so excited about this great opportunity. The programs that operate out of the proposed building, St. Lawrence Community Services (client-aid) and Immigration Services, only function through generous donations and grant funding. Reducing any expenses to those programs, such as utility expenses, allows us to focus available funding towards our clients. We’ve also received questions whether offering these types of services fit into a neighborhood setting. We feel that an investment into solar energy accurately displays our long-term commitment to our clients and the community at large."
