FOOD SERVICES TEAM DELIVERS

With your support, from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, our Food Services team, led by Chef Peter Cregan, served 105,338 meals to Port Chester children who participated in programming at Carver Center, the Port Chester School District, and children in area daycare facilities.

This summer, the team has been preparing both breakfasts and lunches every day for the children attending our Camp Carver summer program. Every child deserves to have nutritious meals every day and at Carver, we make sure that happens.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

Another one of our Citizenship Class students, Esther Castellanos, worked extremely hard to pass her U.S. citizenship exams. We provided her with the tools and education to make her dreams come true.

We enrolled 136 students in our classes since July 2022.

Pictured from left to right are Fabiola Montoya, Carver's Citizenship Coordinator, and Esther.

SNAPSHOT OF AQUATICS

Cortney Grant, Carver's Aquatics Director, met with his enthusiastic and skilled team of instructors and lifeguards to start planning classes for the Fall session.

We provided swim lessons and water safety instruction to 223 children this past year.

Great things are happening in our pool! Stay tuned for information about our expanded Fall programming.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL

Our friends from Turning Pages were back to host this year's Summer Book Fair on Monday, August 14th.

Children enrolled in Camp Carver were excited to choose from a wide variety of books and left with a bag full of wonderful selections! 

Thanks @turning_pages_together for putting the fun back into reading.

WE ARE HIRING FOR OUR

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Carver Center will be running an

after school program at the Port Chester elementary schools in collaboration with the school district.

We have exciting job opportunities available. Visit our website for more information at https://carvercenter.org/job-opportunities/

FYI

Despite the influx of pandemic assistance and tax credits that

benefited many Westchester households in 2021,

over 125,000 families, or 34% of households,

still struggled to afford the basics,

according to a new report from United Way of Westchester and Putnam

and its research partner United For ALICE.

The report also showed that racial disparities persist in the rates

of financial hardship; 47% of Black and 46% of Hispanic households

were below the ALICE Threshold in 2021,

compared to 33% of White households.

(Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), 

Please help support our important programming

so that all Port Chester children, families, and seniors

can lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.



Let's level the playing field for all!
