POTSDAM -- The C.O.R.C. (Council of Religious Concern) Thrift Store, 8 Willow St., received a $750 grant from Stewart's Shops from their Holiday Match Program.

The C.O.R.C store was able to give over $3,900 of free clothing and outerwear to people in need in 2015 due to the ongoing support of donations from individuals and companies like Stewart’s Shops.
