Winter heating fund for resettled refugee families in Utica

by Grace Okonkwo

Eleven resettled families on Utica's east side share aging furnaces that failed inspection this fall. Working with the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees, we have a written quote from Bartell Heating to repair or replace six units before the first freeze. MVRCR is administering the funds and every receipt is posted to our updates page.
