Our Spring Benefit was a great success thanks to our hardworking event committee, Yvette Hammel (Chair), Laura Iverson, Molly Mahoney, Blair Metrailler, & Claire Steinberg, our Table Hosts, the 340+ guests who attended and the many who raised their paddles to support our work.

WE ARE PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL AND HEALTHY LIVING RESOURCES TO OUR COMMUNITY

We're partnering with many Westchester county organizations to provide the latest health and wellness information to the people who come to our Carver Market.

Project Hope Crisis counsellors stopped by to provide information about the impact the COVID pandemic has had on mental health. They also made themselves available if anyone wanted to talk privately.

Feeding Westchester's “Just Say Yes” nutritionist came by to do a cooking demo and tasting during Market hours. A delicious and healthy taco salad was prepared and recipes were made available to our guests in both English and Spanish.

Westchester County Board of Health's Health Promotion staff was on hand to conduct a community health assessment. They provided free COVID tests, tick kits and hand sanitizers. (bottom)
