It was just a regular day recently for Ken White, one of our Meals on Wheels drivers. He stopped for a cup of coffee, picked up nutritious meals for delivery to homebound seniors, and, oh yeah, saved a life!
Continuing our Pinwheels of Prevention campaign this month, Patty, Lello, Joan, and Mary on behalf of the Women of West Islip created two incredible pinwheel gardens with 240 pinwheels in honor of #NationalChildAbusePreventionMonth.
Staff at Clear Vision Optical participated in the Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center’s (CAC) month-long Pinwheels for Prevention campaign by decorating pinwheels to bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Bruno Yactayo, our Bilingual Family Advocate at the Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center (CAC), recently presented at the Comsewogue Community Connections Night to families of the hispanic community at Comsewogue High School. Not only does the CAC treat child victims of abuse, but it also aims to educate community members on signs of abuse so that it can be identified and addressed sooner rather than later.
Young ladies in our Alternatives for Youth (AFY) and Chance to Advance programs recently enjoyed a makeup workshop courtesy of donations of makeup packages by Bare Minerals, lip gloss by J Paige Beauty, and nails by Kiss Nails!
Community members Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin thought of our Child Advocacy Center (CAC) to donate tons of children’s clothes and toys. Forget the Joneses… keep up with the Benjamins!
The “Women of West Islip,” represented by Carmela R., ran a Share the Love stuffed animal drive and donated dozens of cute and fluffy animals to our Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) to help provide comfort to child victims of abuse and neglect. Thank you, Women of West Islip!
What makes EAC Network programs so effective? We have Peer Mentors who help out clients with obstacles that they themselves have faced.
