Programs described in its return (2)
- $45,920 spent. We strive to provide programs in an environment that fosters the well-being of our community as a whole. Such programs include partnerships with local public school and community organizations. These programs include HFCS Cheerleading, HFCS Air Rifle Team, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and the Hoosick Falls Pickleball Club. Living Resources, an organization that provides services to individuals challenged by intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as those who are brain injury survivors, maintains an office in the Armory in order to better serve those in the greater Hoosick area. Unity House, a human service agency, also maintains an office in the Armory and works closely with our local police department. They assist victims of domestic violence, those living in poverty, adults with mental illness or HIV/AIDS and children with developmental delays by providing crisis intervention, advocacy, information, skills teaching, resources, encouragement and support to those living in the greater Hoosick area. These programs engage and inspire our youth and families and provide support and enrichment to our whole community. Funding for these programs is subsidized by contributions, local grants and fundraising.
- Community events are a big part of the mission of H.A.P.P.Y.. We serve as an official Polling Place for elections, allow for Senior Walking during winter months, year round Pickleball playing and are the site of the Hoosick Town Offices and Court. H.A.P.P.Y. continues to provide many community events and outreach despite limited availability of grant funding.
