REFLECTIVE HOUSE NUMBERS
Community Connections was awarded a grant from the Johnson Foundation in Jamestown, NY. Community Connections decided to use a portion of the grant towards the purchase of reflective house number signs for the safety of its residents. This program was in collaboration with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department. It is being continued through the donation from the Findley Lake Fire Department's Women's Auxiliary.
