City Mission Of Schenectady's Work During The Pandemic

City Mission of Schenectady, founded in 1906, seeks to comprehensively meet the needs of the poor in a manner that dignifies and strengthens the individual, the family, and the community.

They want to help people who are in need right now by meeting basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. Providing these life essentials are at the core of their mission.

In addition, their hope is that they can do more than just meet basic needs. They look to transform lives by providing spiritual guidance, counseling, training, classes, life and job skills training. Mike Saccocio is the CEO of the City Mission of Schenectady.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
