Those wishing to meet with Fulton County United Way representatives now will do so at a different location in Rochester. The nonprofit moved several months back from 722 Main St., to 122 W. Eighth St. Fulton County United Way Executive Director Jenny Moriarty said the move was motivated in part by financial reasons. “The building was quite large over where we were,” she said. “We didn’t really need that space, and financially it was better.” Moriarty noted the organization would have had to invest more funds into repairing the Main Street location.

Money from United Way goes to a variety of nonprofits locally. Last year, funding went to Court Appointed Spe-
cial Advocates of Fulton County; the Fulton County Council on Aging; Fulton County Animal Adoption and Education Center; Manitou Training Center; Fulton County Pack-a-Backpack; Fulton County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program; The Salvation Army; United Ministries of Fulton County; and The Outlet Youth Center. Nonprofits in the county are currently welcome to call United Way or email Moriarty at fultoncouway@rtcol. com to apply to get funds from the current campaign drive.
