AHRC Nassau

The men and women who receive day services with us build strong bonds with the members of their community. People in day services locations in Levittown, Hicksville, Jericho, Farmingdale, and Plainview have been working on holiday cards for law enforcement officers struggling with mental health. Everyone wrote positive messages wishing them a happy holiday. To donate or learn more about this thoughtful initiative, visit https://lnkd.in/e5HFcHeV.

Congratulations to the Heart of the Community Award recipients: DEI Liaison and community volunteer Noah Probert, remarkable Direct Support Professional Lordlyn Lewis, and outstanding Assistant Manager Althea Mowatt. Three cheers for Outstanding Volunteer Award honoree Brian Quinn, who shares his creativity and passion for art through weekly classes.

Harold and AHRC community artists Mildred, Richard, Wenceslao, Denise, and several from East Meadow Arts submitted pieces to The Arc of New York's 2024 Art Competition in the fall. Day Services Manager Liz, Program Coordinator Marc, and Activities Specialist Amy created a special basket with a certificate, custom sweater, and framed photo to gift Harold for joining the contest.
