Wishing everyone a year filled with success, health, and good fortune!

Mandarins, often gifted during Lunar New Year, symbolize prosperity, good luck, and happiness—something we hope to bring to everyone we serve. To our team it’s about more than just serving; it’s about honoring traditions, embracing cultures, and standing together as a community.

This is what community is all about—coming together to lift each other up. We’re proud to have made the holidays brighter for so many families. 🎄

Special thanks to Ms. Reyes of PS.64Q for her beautiful decorations, Jose Sanchez for being Santa, and our incredible volunteers, who are the heart of everything we do.

Thank you to Council Member Joann Ariola, Marine Toys for Tots, PS.64Q, PS.63Q, Queens Party Hall, Sovereign Realty NY, Making Miracles in the World, and Hill’s Pest Management. Your generosity made this possible!

For many families, the holidays can be tough. But as a community, we brought joy, hope, and extra cheer to those who needed it most.

Moments like these remind us of the strength in unity & the difference we make when we come together. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and happy Thanksgiving!

A special shoutout to our volunteers—the heart of everything we do. Their dedication, energy, and kindness make all this possible. We can’t thank them enough!

We’re also grateful to the NYPD 102nd & 106th Precinct Community Affairs officers who helped distribute turkeys, & to CB9 Queens Chairwoman Sherry Algredo, who stepped in to assist with the chickens.

This would not have been possible without the support of Magnetar, Food Bank For NYC, Stop & Shop, State Senator Joe Addabbo, & Council Member Joann Ariola.

At the Ozone Park Pantry, we distributed turkeys, halal chickens, salmon, fresh produce, & more to families in need—on top of our regular pantry services. A busy weekend, but every moment was worth it to help make the holiday special.
