City & State reports on The Foundling’s service day in Puerto Rico – a volunteer event held in Cataño – near our newest Head Start & Early Head Start center – in conjunction with the annual Somos Conference:
“A tent was set up along the waterfront in the town 10 miles west of San Juan for a food and backpack giveaway hosted by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, in partnership with The New York Foundling. Members of 250 families lined up in the sun for the distribution and information on valuable social services. A discussion followed at Cataño’s town hall with a panel of social services experts calling for collaboration among nonprofits and governmental groups that help the neediest of Puerto Ricans.”
