Fulton, NY – Thanks to a recent clothing drive sponsored by “Entergy WIN (Women In Nuclear) at FitzPatrick” the closet at Catholic Charities of Oswego County’s Donna’s Place program is well stocked with business clothing suitable for both women and men.

Donna’s Place is an innovative program that provides additional support to both women and men who have become disenfranchised through no fault of their own be it a divorce, death, loss of employment, physical or mental illness, loss of housing, etc.  The program offers these individuals the tools and support they need to become self-sufficient members of the Fulton community.  Included in that support is providing those in need with a suitable wardrobe that will help them prepare to re-enter the workforce.  All services of Donna’s Place are available to no cost to the participant.

Program Coordinator, Helen Hoefer, was thrilled to receive the donation.  “It’s wonderful.  Their generous donation of men’s and women’s clothing will go along way in helping to meet the needs of the growing number of people who rely on the services of Donna’s Place.”  

A chapter of U.S. Women in Nuclear, Entergy WIN at FitzPatrick works to inform the public of the benefits of advancing the nuclear energy industry and seeks to motivate younger generations to explore career opportunities in nuclear energy.

“We are happy to support such a worthwhile program as Donna’s Place,” said Anne Porter of Entergy WIN at FitzPatrick.  “We applaud their efforts in helping both women and men re-enter the workforce.”

Catholic Charities of Oswego County serves all people in need regardless of their religious affiliation.  Primary funding sources for Catholic Charities of Oswego County’s programs are the United Way of Greater Oswego County, the Diocesan Hope Appeal, the County of Oswego and private donations by individuals and local companies and organizations.
