American Legion Post 348 welcomes new handicap accessible features to the New Berlin community
NEW BERLIN – American Legion Post 348, located at 6 Academy Street in New Berlin, for many years has went without the necessary handicap accessible features for decades until recently when members of the Impact Project dedicated their time and resources to help our local veterans.
On Saturday June 10, the project was deemed finished and a ribbon cutting ceremony was set to unveil the new renovations to the building. The New Berlin Mayor Terry Potter, Impact Project Director James Willard, members of the 348 post and numerous volunteers from surrounding communities who helped with updating the Post attended the symbolic ribbon cutting ceremony.
During the ceremony, Jim Willard recognized Auxiliary member Denny Hoxie by saying that “it’s very difficult to ask for help, we know that and we want you to know that when you did reach out to use, it was our honor and our privilege to help. We also wanted you to know were a christian organization, but i am not a pastor, not a minister and not a father but god loves you, we love the legion and we have your back. In symbolism of that and our appreciation for you asking us to help with the American Legion,, we have here a Bible that is engraved with the American Legion Post 348 in gold and everyone who has been apart of the project has signed the Bible. This is our present to your organization and hopefully it last forever”.
The Post 348 will have a new concrete driveway, sidewalk, handicap ramp, stairs and the property will be newly landscaped.
“To all the volunteers who have come here, we really appreciate it. We needed this for a really long time and we all thank you. The post 348 thanks you”, said Hoxie.
The Impact Project is an independent, Christian, non-profit organization that provides major home repairs for low-income, elderly and handicapped homeowners.
“Since our inception The Impact Project has completed 89 projects in 5 different counties (Broome, Tioga, Chenango, Otsego & Steuben) with the assistance of over 2700 volunteers,” said Willard.
