Thursday, May 5th
Flower Power
​

A beautiful day called for beautiful flowers and Flower Bodega delivered. We hosted our first hybrid Flower Power fundraiser for Mercy Home and Plant-Grow-Give. Thanks to the fantastic Aurea Sanabria Molaei people at home and guests that joined us in person had a chance to learn how professionals create eye-catching and captivating floral arrangements. Everyone had so much fun, and our competitive spirits emerged as we showed off our work.

 

We raised over $10,000 to help support Mercy Home and Plant-Grow-Give's horticultural therapy and organic farming project and help kick off the growing season. Please take a minute to enjoy the photos from the event.

Beer, Bourbon, & Bites

​

Oh, what a night! There was fantastic weather, live music from Trifecta and our guest DJ, excellent food and drinks, an extensive array of raffle items, and so many friends. Thanks to you and all of our supporters, we were able to surpass our fundraising goal to raise money for our Creative Arts Therapy program for children with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities at the 5th Annual Beer, Bourbon, & Bites.

 

Your investment in our work is vital to us – especially as we reopen, refine and expand our services to those we serve. Together, we are laying the foundation for programs of quality and distinction that promote life skills lifelong. We couldn't have done it without you and Beer, Bourbon, and Bites sponsors; THANK YOU!

Read our Annual Report

​

Without a doubt, this past year has tested us and the people in our care. When New York City became the epicenter of a global health crisis, many of our programs were suspended and the people we support were unable to leave their homes due to COVID-19 safety guidelines. The pandemic made us pause, reflect, and establish new initiatives to ensure that our residents were able to remain healthy, happy, and safe.

​

The incredible strides we made as an organization were made possible by our dedicated staff who stepped up during the tough times and helped us navigate through this new reality. Throughout all the growth and change we experienced, they never wavered on our mission to enrich the lives of adults and children with developmental disabilities.
