Thank you to all who contributed to CWNY's Giving Tuesday fundraiser. As we mentioned last time, there are no words to express how grateful we are for everyone who made 2022 such a wonderful year for the Center and all who benefit from our programs. Opening the doors of our Fort Totten location and seeing such a positive response by our community of women and allies is so heartwarming! In response to the community needs that we have identified, we are working hard on developing programs for 2023. You will soon hear about CWNY’s new programs for parents, families, first responders, and for those who are looking to enter or re-enter the workforce. Stay tuned!
Season's greetings full of gratitude,
Cecilia Venosta-Wiygul
CWNY President
