Rural Ministry Cleanup Report
On a cold, snowy “Spring?” Cleanup
Day, under the direction of Tioga Coun-
ty Rural Ministry, 40 volunteers from
Tioga, Broome and Tompkins Counties
ventured out into the towns of Owego
and Apalachin to help their senior neigh-
bors who were in need of some assis-
tance. From dusting, vacuuming, spot
cleaning and window washing to laying
down mulch, clearing gardens, picking
up sticks and twigs to trying to rake
leaves through the snow, these hardy
workers from Owego Free Academy and
Candor High School, Binghamton Uni-
versity, Ithaca College and Cornell,
along with volunteer drivers/supervisors
worked at 41 sites.
Sr. Mary of Tioga County Rural Min-
istry had the opportunity to sit down
with Ithaca College and Cornell stu-
dents, inviting responses to the question
of why they volunteer to help. Teresa
Clark’s response was immediate: “The
people are so welcoming and apprecia-
tive.” Cassandra, a grad student from
Cornell spoke of her own personal need
to do community service. She experi-
enced the fulfillment of this need last
year and so wanted to return. Nolan
Hurst of Ithaca College noted that this is
his third year coming: “The community
that’s built here is a one of a kind thing.
It is awesome and inspiring.”
Tioga County Rural Ministry (TCRM)
is so grateful for these young adults who
are willing to lend a hand. TCRM wants
to honor the 30 adult volunteers who
made this day possible by visiting sites
beforehand, preparing lunches and serv-
ing as drivers/supervisors. TCRM thanks
the First Presbyterian Union Church for
allowing use of their kitchen for lunch
preparation, and to its members, along
with Kiwanis and Rotary members who
supplied food and materials for lunches.

nounced that John King, Owego, has

plary service to 4-H, while promoting
