HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
SEPTEMBER 15 - OCTOBER 15
𝐀 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐂𝐑𝐂 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐃𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇
Each year during specially designated days, weeks or months, countries celebrate some aspect of their culture or history.
Today, to launch Hispanic Heritage Month, CRC has chosen to highlight its own Westchester community, a community of survivors.
We celebrate our roots as we also honor our clients, who risk so much to pursue their dreams for a better life. As someone once said: immigration is the sincerest form of flattery. Our clients flatter us every day through their hard work, their commitment to their families, their contribution to an economy that is the envy of the world, but most of all, through their strength.
The word “resiliency” has been much-used throughout the pandemic as our clients suffered most through it - however, resiliency to those who survived it means having no choice but to do what must be done to survive.
This month is about acknowledging and celebrating our Hispanic roots - at CRC our Hispanic roots are celebrated every day of the year as we lean in, advocate, teach, learn, and set the stage for achievements big and small, as we watch our community grow and contribute to a country that has become their new home. Despite all the obstacles.
Sincerely,

We are grateful to Governor Kathy Hochul, as well as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Kristin Gillibrand, and Congressman Jamaal Bowman who all came to Mamaroneck to update us on Ida recovery efforts for our area, and to assess the damage done by the recent flooding.
As CRC’s clients, CRC staff, local businesses and many other organizations work towards recovery, we are hopeful that Governor Hochul’s visit was able to inform her decisions moving forward, as they impact the safety and economic well-being of our community. CRC is grateful to all those who have helped and continue to help us and our community, not just through ongoing flood recovery efforts, but through the last year and half as our community suffered through the COVID pandemic. You, dear friends, have been there for us and for our clients. Thank you, all. |
Ida Flood Recovery Continues
The families and small businesses in our community have experienced extensive damages and lost most of their belongings. The damages and trauma will take months to recover and heal from.
Help us support them with direct emergency assistance. Donate to CRC's recovery fund.
Our Center also sustained significant flooding, and we lost most of our workforce development, staff, and building equipment. But the loss is not just about the material damages; CRC is a second home to our community. In times like this, CRC is where they turn to for help and refuge. We are heartbroken not to be able to offer our Center's space for healing and support. Our own recovery will take time, but our team is hard at work with Crisis Response at different locations (a temporary location will be announced soon).
We thank all of our community partners for supporting us during this difficult time.
In Solidarity,

Take action
Over our 23 years in existence, we have grown from a community initiative and referral organization to one that provides comprehensive direct client services and programs. Through thoughtful planning, we provide a myriad of educational programs, case management and referral services and advocate for immigrants and low-income families in need. However, while we have a plan- we still need your help to get the job done.
