The Fabius-Pompey Outreach is open on Thursdays from 4-6p.m. and is located in the lower level of the Pompey Hill Fire House.

Fabius-Pompey Outreach needs your help. Please let us know at 677-3590 of any other services in our Fabius-Pompey School District that we could provide.

Outreach began by providing food to families, now we provide food plus emergency help with heating, Phone A-Friend program, counseling, and referrals, partial nursery school scholarships for children who could not otherwise attend, holiday baskets for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and emergency financial help. A local family generously donates funds so that all children coming to the pantry can have a new pair of shoes for school. We have also provided boots and snowsuits.

Families in need of food or services can call 677-3590 any time. Our needs: Canned meats, cereal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, canned fruits and juices, spaghetti sauce, and paper products.

We're an ecumenical organization helping families in the F-P School District. We operate a food pantry in the lower level of the Pompey Hill Fire House which is accessible from Henneberry Road.

Mr. Al LaFrance, President of the Fabius Historical Society, stands at the entrance to the Pioneer Museum which is opertated and maintained by Fabius Historical Society volunteers. The museum is located in Highland Forest Park, off of Route 80. You can find out more about Highland Forest Park by visiting its website.

I found Mr. LaFrance to be a very energetic man who also participates in archeology digs. He, along with the rest of the Fabius Historical Society, have a very ambitious plan to preserve the history of Fabius for its future generations. One of the goals is to build a pole barn to store the large horse-drawn farm machinery, along with two fanning mills.

While the horse-drawn planter was donated by the Sweetland family, other historical artifacts are needed. If you have any Grandma "favorites" or Grandpa's "can't live withouts" consider donating them to the museum. Contact Sandy Beglinger, Vice Presideent, at 315-683-5878 to find out if the artifact could be used.
