CARVER VOICES - JUNE 2021

BECAUSE OF YOU...
We are celebrating.
Our Spring Benefit numbers are in and we have surpassed our goal and have raised $410,000 to support our essential services. What does that mean? It means that we can continue to distribute food to more Port Chester families, can provide more opportunities for our residents to become U.S. citizens, and will continue to imagine more enrichment and academic programs for our children and teens.

If you weren't able to attend, you can still see our Benefit and view our new Carver video here, https://carvercenter.org/2021-virtual-benefit-stream/
 
Carver Center will ALWAYS be here when we are needed most ESPECIALLY with the continued support from our community partners, donors and friends! THANK YOU!
THANK YOU JOHN CONDON!
40+ Years of Service to the Carver Center and the
Port Chester community

One of the highlights from our Virtual Spring Benefit was honoring our Lifetime Board Member John Condon with the Sister Rosemary Sheehan Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service.

Our Partnership with the STEM Alliance

Twelve Carver Center teens are participating in a new program called Digital Equity Now, a STEM Alliance of Larchmont initiative. The goal of the program is to teach teens how to efficiently use digital technology for educational and research/learning purposes.

Students are being trained on WIX, a web- design platform, LinkedIn, and social media apps. Teens will create a personal website and will receive a ChromeBook and hotspot upon completion of the program. For our teens, this is a win-win opportunity as they navigate through this critical stage of personal development.

MASTERCARD VOLUNTEERS ARE BACK

On May 21st, a group of volunteers from the Mastercard Internal Audit department in Purchase, helped pack and distribute food in our Carver Market. We were thrilled to have them back.

We are welcoming back volunteer groups with a limited capacity. Please reach out to Gina Nocco, at (914) 305-6038

EXCITING VIRTUAL CARVER AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM PARENT ENGAGEMENT NIGHTS

Our team presented two exciting parent engagement nights to our families in May.

At our Disney Concert Night, families had the chance to sing their favorite Disney tunes with local and professional performing artists who volunteered their time and talents to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

We had an exclusive and special live Wizarding Workshop hosted by Magician Evan Presto that was only available to our Virtual Carver Afterschool Program students and their families.

Evan taught some of his favorite magic tricks and inspired us all to perform as Wizards!
CARVER MARKET NUMBERS
May numbers continue to grow.
Our Carver Market distributions continue to be an important resource for the people of Port Chester. During the month of May, we distributed food to 1,238 children, 1,931 adults and 72 seniors. Since April 2020, we have fed 70,276 Port Chester families and individuals.
