What's Happening
Each February, millions of people come together to celebrate National Cancer Prevention Month to raise awareness about cancer and ways to safeguard health. Mesothelioma is closely associated with exposure to asbestos, a naturally found mineral. Although researchers knew about the dangers of asbestos as far back as the 1920s, it was used extensively until the 1970s. Read more.

A Pickle of a Puzzle at the Hempstead Senior Center
Mamie Winfield, longtime member at our Hempstead Senior Community Service Center , has a hobby - she loves puzzles ! The one of the world map that she is currently working on has over 2,000 pieces! Also prominent is a beautiful bulletin board the seniors created for Black History Month. If you'd like to donate puzzles, arts and crafts, or other activities for the seniors, please contact us .
Heartfelt Donation Made to Nassau Supervised Visitation
A former Nassau Supervised Visitation (NSV) parent recently dropped off a donation of new stuffed animals for the children of the program, which provides supervised visits between non-custodial parents and their children in a safe, child-friendly facility. Because the donor had experienced first-hand the emotional end of visits for parents and children, they hoped these stuffed animals would provide comfort to the children visiting in the future. We know our kids will love them! Interested in donating new toys or games to NSV? Contact us . You can also make a contribution here.
