Long Island Reach

We were happy to fulfill a Grant request from Long Island Reach to be used for Their Harriet Eisman Community School project. Harriet Eisman Community School students are between 14 and 22 years of age. Students who begin the program in their late teens can finish the program past 22 years old until they graduate. They strive to help students learn academically and to equip them with the tools to improve confidence and develop a better outlook for their future. Students are taught about healthy relationships, how to manage stress and anxiety, how to cope with stress and trauma, and how to set and accomplish goals. Many students are considered at-risk or disadvantaged and several entering the program report anxiety, depression, social anxiety or feelings of isolation.

NCJW National Council of Jewish Women

We happy to once again support the National Council of Jewish Women for their Back 2 School project. This event allows children to “shop” for new clothing (winter coats, sneakers, socks, underwear, pants, tops, pjs, school supplies, and toiletries) and goods at no cost to them. A child who has new clothing and new school supplies is well equipped to begin the school year. This often translates into a more positive approach to the learning experience and increases the chances the child will consistently and regularly attend school. The aim is to educate, empower, improve school attendance, and improve the quality of life for children and families.

National Mill Dog Rescue

We were happy to once again support National Mill Dog Rescue with Grant funds to contribute towards their purchase of a rescue transport van. NMDR rescues dogs from commercial breeding facilities, commonly known as puppy mills, throughout the US. Puppy mills are facilities where dogs are housed in small cages twenty-four hours a day, with minimal human contact or veterinary care, and are forced to breed their whole lives until they are physically incapable. At that time, many commercial breeding dogs are destroyed, others are sold at dog auctions, but fortunately, growing numbers are willingly released to NMDR.
