Wh have 38,000 SF of space and we presently serve 10,000 people. Our agency operates (7) programs and we are unable to expand due tofunding limitations. The programs thae we offer are: Ederly services, food bank, computer learning center, the school of language (English, Creole and Spanish), childcare center, after school turorial programs, and youth creative programs. Our families are in desperate need of these services and are unable to pay for them. Out youth program was created to reduce the number of Hitian, Hispanic and African American youth that are getting in trouble with the law. Our program provides a safe haven for these young people and we provide creative solutions to channel their anger. |
