25 Years of Growth

Twenty-five years ago Diana Dancause, Beth Snyder, and Michelle Matthews were all in very different positions, but they were still a part of United Helpers' 100th Anniversary celebration. 

Mrs. Dancause was working as a housekeeping/laundry aide, while Mrs. Snyder was working as an MCRA, now called MDSP, and Ms. Matthews was working as a CNA on the midnight shift. Today, Mrs. Dancause is a housing assistant, Mrs. Snyder works serves as Community Housing Director and Ms. Matthews is now the Vice President of Human Resources. 

These three women, like dozens of others have seen their careers grow and blossom with United Helpers. They are seen here holding a commemorative flag that was flown at various United Helpers sites as part of the organization's centennial celebration. 

This year, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary commemorative flags are again flying at several United Helpers' locations, and on May 4, the actual date of our anniversary, a commemorative flag will fly in front of city hall in Ogdensburg. It was on that date in 1898 when a young boy from Potsdam was admitted to the original United Helpers Home, which sat on Congress Street in Ogdensburg.
