Longtime volunteer Carol Powers devotes her time and attention to each individual family looking for clothing in our Clothing Boutique. No matter what the family needs, Carol will do her best to help them find it and make sure that nobody leaves empty-handed.

FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
FOR HEALTHY MEALS

Thanks to a generous grant from The MBIA Foundation, Inc., we can provide our clients with fresh produce, not just in the warm weather months, but all throughout the year. "Vegetables are the best kind of food, said one client. "Now, with a choice of many fresh vegetables, it is even better." Her friend added, "Vegetables are the fundamental base to maintain good health."

KEEPING AN EYE ON DAD

Free blood pressure checks at the Center

During Northern Westchester Hospital's recent clinic at the Center, a nurse checks the blood pressure and glucose levels of one of our clients, while his daughter looks on. NWH will be back at the Center on Saturday, February 25, conducting free vascular screening between 10 am and 12 noon.

Welcome to the staff, Manuel. We're glad to have you.

NEW DONATION CHECK-IN SYSTEM
PLEASES DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS ALIKE

Thanks to our new donation check-in system, volunteers now easily weigh and record all donations that come to the Center's door-- food, clothing, shoes, school supplies, and new sleepwear-- and immediately produce a detailed receipt for our donors.

Thanks to all the volunteers who have worked so hard to learn the new system, and thanks to all the donors who have been so patient while we have been learning. A huge thanks to Tom Harris and Jim Dowling for creating this system for the Center and bringing us into the 21st century!
