BINGHAMTON — Two organizations have awarded the Family & Children’s Society, Inc. of Binghamton grant awards for capital improvements at its facility.
The Steward W. and Willma C. Hoyt Foundation, Inc awarded a grant of $25,000 to remove asbestos ahead of upcoming renovations at the Society’s office at 257 Main St. in Binghamton.
The renovations follow water and smoke damage at the building due to a fire next door last February, according to a news release.
The fire forced the Family & Children’s Society to move its Binghamton office to 229 State St., the agency said on its website.
Additionally, the Conrad and Virginia Klee Foundation awarded the organization $58,000 to help replace its heating and cooling system.
The Family & Children’s Society says it provides assistance, care and counseling to strengthen and support individuals and healthy relationships in the Southern Tier.
The agency provides counseling services at offices in Binghamton and Owego and home care services at its office in Johnson City.
