HANNAWA FALLS – Helping Hands reports that Casella Waste Systems is the premier sponsor for the Cindy Talcott Memorial Golf Tournament to be held July 20.

Casella’s contribution of $5,000 sets the bar in support of Helping Hands’ most important annual fundraiser, the organization said in a press release.

“Casella is honored to continue its partnership with Helping Hands and couldn’t be more excited to make this donation in support of its annual fundraiser,” said Market Area Manager Bill Meyers. “Helping Hands provides critical services of need in supporting the people within our communities who need them the most. We look forward to the upcoming golf tournament and most importantly our continued relationship with Helping Hands into the future.”

Casella has a long-standing history of providing ongoing support and services to non-profits in the North Country through philanthropic endeavors and in-kind service donations.

Helping Hands said the company provides waste removal services routinely at no cost, making a huge impact on the organization’s bottom line.

Helping hands, located at the corner of Church Street and Route 56 in Hannawa Falls, provides assistance to many in our region. Through the work of Helping Hands, friends and neighbors in the community gain access to food, heat, furniture, utilities, guidance, and prayer.
