In addition to hosting this fair, the Franklin County Senior Center provides Meals on Wheels five days a week, lunches served daily at various locations, restaurant programs and potluck dinners. They offer health related services and activities such as card parties, bingo, line dancing, art classes, crafts, day trips, and music. The Northwestern Medical Center is a vibrant 70-bed hospital in St Albans. With a staff of 450 professionals and 120 volunteers, NMC provides the warm personal care of a community hospital with comprehensive primary care services for the people of Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. There were about 20,000 Emergency Room visits and 2,200 admissions last year.
Every great idea starts with a dream.
The Franklin-Grand Isle United Way relies on volunteers to raise and distribute funds to the local agencies and organizations that provide adoption, alcohol and drug abuse, day care, counseling, disability, education, employment, family, food, health, hospice, housing, literacy, recreation, and transportation for all age groups. The fun, the food, and the parking are all free. The Volunteer Coordinators Network is an informal consortium of Franklin and Grand Isle groups who rely on volunteers for community projects.
