United Helpers Turns 125!

United Helpers Turns 125!

United Helpers, founded in 1898 to provide a home for area children who were in need, is 125 this year! May 4 marks the day when the first United Helpers matron, Alzina Milligan, brought the first child from Potsdam to the new United Helpers Home in Ogdensburg.
