A multi-agency collaboration is ongoing across Staten Island and NYC to help supply the thousands of asylum seekers who have arrived in NYC  recently.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our winter clothing drive to make it a success! Car loads of winter clothing were delivered to Staten Island Petrides Family Welcome Center, which helps provide over 2,000 refugees with basic supplies.
