From the desk of the Director of Franklin County RSVP in Malone, New York:

The 911 Cell Phone Bank program has been a huge success in Franklin County, New York. Because of RSVP’s collaboration with Public Health, the CARES unit and the Office for the Aging, we have provided seniors over 60 years old with a cell phone. This phone has given them the peace of mind in knowing that they can reach emergency services when needed. Over 80 phones have been dispersed and 100 phones are being sent out in a few weeks so that they can be given out to these agencies dealing with seniors living in isolated areas of our community.

This program will indeed be responsible for the safety and well being of one of the most vulnerable people in our society, our senior citizens…thank you.
