The mission of the Circle of Friends for the Dying is to bring compassionate, competent end-of-life care to the dying and their families. The mission is achieved by providing a circle of support for individuals (and their families) with a prognosis of three months or less. Circle of Friends for the Dying will oversee the establishment and maintenance of a home-like residence for the terminally ill, with an emphasis on comfort and quality-of-life. Our home becomes the primary residence for individuals who can no longer safely remain in their own home or who prefer an alternative to spending one's last days in a nursing home or hospital setting.

Freedom Guide Dogs is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization based in Upstate New York, which breeds, trains and places guide dogs with the blind and visually impaired through a distinctive program called Hometown Training at no cost to the recipient. Freedom was founded in 1991 and is celebrating 25 years of service. Freedom Guide Dogs' services are available to people along the East Coast of the United States at no cost with special consideration given to veterans and people with additional disabilities beyond visual impairment.
