Today we celebrated our incredible Long Term Care Ombudsman Volunteers at our Volunteer Recognition Event!

Thank you for your unwavering dedication, compassion, and commitment to advocating for the rights, dignity, and quality of life of residents in long term care facilities.

Your time, hard work, and willingness to be a voice for residents make a meaningful difference every day. Because of your service, residents know that someone is there to listen, support them, and help ensure their concerns are heard.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you and the tremendous impact you have on the lives of long-term care residents. Thank you for all that you do!

Each booklet includes five $5.00 coupons ($25 value) that are redeemable at participating Farmers Markets across New York State. Coupons are available until September 30, and are redeemable until November 30. COFA maintains a list of interested individuals throughout the year, so if you are interested in obtaining Farmers Market coupons contact them at (607) 274-5482.
