Here for Long Island. Here for You.
April Hero of the Month
We would like to honor Adam Blank, former CEO of Sleepy’s and active FCA Board Member, as our FCA April Hero of the Month. Adam recently went above and beyond by distributing our Year End Appeal to all of his business associates, colleagues and contacts to inform them of his personal commitment to help shed light on the tremendous efforts and successes of our agency. Adam's efforts raised an astounding $34,600 in new donations for the agency.
 
Adam is here presented with a “Gold” level leaf on our Giving Tree . The Giving Tree initiative centers around Project Flourish which aims to support underprivileged youth and educate the community on the needs that exist here on Long Island..

Thank you Adam, we appreciate your ongoing work and dedication to FCA! 
Addiction Prevention, Treatment & Recovery
Amory Mowrey, FCA Addiction Recovery Coach and Program Manager, recently presented in front of over 200 people at a Suffolk Cares Collaborative gathering.

Not only did he educate the group on the Sherpa program and its operations, he brought the program to life for these individuals.

Amory's efforts have increased awareness within our communities for FCA's SHERPA program, and have drawn more attention to the work that he and others peer navigators are doing.
Children's Mental Health
Last year, FCA was able to send three Lakeview House residents to Prom because of many supportive donations. Lakeview would like to send several residents to prom once again over the upcoming spring months.

Attending prom is truly a milestone in many young people’s lives, and FCA's Lakeview House would like to make sure that our residents are able to experience this special time.
Senior & Adult Services
FCA has partnered with the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation to increase support to caregivers in underserved communities in Nassau County.

The comprehensive work of FCA’s Senior Division strives to make caregivers aware that they are not alone and that support, education and resources are available.

Memory Cafes, one of FCA's programs, allows caregivers and their family members with ADRD (Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias) to come together and support each other through a number of events.
Family Education & Support
Several members of FCA's Youth Advisory Council recently participated in the seventh annual Girlz Talk event at Hofstra University hosted by The Cedarmore Corporation. This event featured a full day of excitement, enlightenment and empowerment.

This was an opportunity for the young ladies to engage with women who are leaders in multiple fields in our communities and also with other peers from around the region.
Residential Care
 Mazars USA LLP recently visited FCA's Walkabout Residence for Young Men and Women residence to provide a very helpful workshop and to assist residents with tax prep free of charge.

Learn more here about Mazars' continued support of the Walkabout program and their residents.
