EAC Network’s Nutrition Education & Food Services teammates, Estefani DeVargas and Rosella Fuscaldo, glammed it up with MAC Volunteers on World AIDS Day. For the 9th year, our friends at MAC cosmetics turned our food pantry from drab to glam – we can’t thank them enough for sharing their love on this special day!
During National Caregivers month, our In-Home Respite Services hosted a luncheon to recognize and honor our caregivers, including Town of North Hempstead District 1 Councilwoman Vivianna Russell (left) and Pauline Feldman (right). We are so grateful to our companions who give full-time caregivers much-needed time off!
Several EAC Network staff recently represented multiple programs at the Suffolk County Reentry Task Force Resource Fair, which promoted vocational skills/job training and leads, substance abuse/mental health treatment, family/peer support, and legal/social services.
Once again our Safe Start program hosted a series of car seat events at GEICO head quarters to show parents and guardians how to properly install car seats. And once again, GEICO generously supported the program with an incredible $20,000. Thank you GEICO!
As part of an EAC Network-wide wellness initiative for staff, our team at 60 Plant Avenue, Hauppauge recently completed their wellness activities!
Seniors from our Hempstead Senior Community Service Center attended the recent Village of Hempstead Senior Picnic at Kennedy Park where guests were treated to a family-style lunch, raffles, entertainment by Chauncey Nedd and the Neddmen, bingo, and ice cream. The best part? Two of our members won bingo prizes! Woo!
We are SO grateful to have received Brookepacks from the Brooke Jackman Foundation once again! Every year, hundreds of children in our programs receive brand new backpacks filled with school supplies and books so they can be ready and confident on the first day of school! Thank you, Brooke Jackman Foundation!
Recently, Donna Buccellato, Elder Abuse Educator for the Victims Information Bureau of Suffolk (VIBS), conducted a presentation for the team in our In-Home Respite Services program. The feedback was very positive, as the workshop created greater awareness of the complicated issues surrounding elder abuse and will also allow our companions to be more alert to problems they may encounter in clients’ homes.
It was Christmas in July at our Child Advocacy Center (CAC) recently, as the Rose family, who hosts a pajama drive in the winter for our children who have been abused, stopped by to drop off more pajamas for our children in need! Thank you, Rose family!
Have you been to the recently reopened Zorn’s of Bethpage yet? Our President & CEO, Lance W. Elder, attended the ribbon cutting ceremony alongside other nonprofit leaders and elected officials to celebrate the reopening of this Nassau County staple. Congratulations to EAC Network friend and supporter, Merrill Zorn, on 80 years of the family business!
