Write a commentOswego Industries is once again partnering with Oliver Paine Greenhouses on a hanging basket fundraiser.
Proceeds from the sale will support people with disabilities in living rich, fulfilling lives of their own choosing, in part by purchasing accessible cleaning equipment for the agency’s contract cleaning crew. The crew provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities in and around Oswego County. Baskets are on sale until May 10, and will be available for pick-up on May 20.
“Not only do these baskets look amazing on the front porch, they’re an evergreen reminder of how our community blooms when we work together,” said Rebekkah Frisch, Marketing & Communications Associate. “This fundraiser will help get our walk-behind floor scrubbers back into action and help make employment accessible for everyone.”
Baskets are $22 or 3 for $60. Varieties available include the ever-popular Superbells, Supertunias, Fuschia, Calliope Geraniums, New Guinea Impatiens, Boston Ferns, and Zebra Plants. Order forms are available by calling 315-598-3108 or visiting bit.ly/oi-op-flowers. Checks should be addressed to Oswego Industries and mailed to 7 Morrill Place, Fulton NY 13069. If paying online, please add $3 to cover processing fees.
