Avangrid Foundation and RG&E Make Donation to Ibero Senior Center
Rochester, N.Y. – A donation from Avangrid, Inc. - made in partnership with RG&E - will help expand programming at a local community center.
The organizations are giving $10,000 to the Ibero Senior Center on East Main Street. The funds will be used for wellness and socialization activities.
Ibero says its Centro de Oro provides services for dozens of seniors each week. Among them are many who came to Rochester from Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.
In 2017, following the hurricane, Ibero provided services for hundreds who were forced to evacuate Puerto Rico, gathering donations and providing necessary resources.
